This actually happened to me almost.
But the ball just barely missed the ceiling, came down and landed in the gutter (luckily so it didn't damage the lane) then bounced out, went over the divider into the other lane, landed on the wood lane and got a strike in the other lane.
The team playing on that lane just look at me and said "impressive". I just bashfully shrugged and thanked god for not ruining the lane. And then immediately stopped drinking that night.
