Cash a blank card^^


Rubber Bridge.
High stakes.
No Luck.
Opponents just made slam.
Pay up.
Made another game.
Got to Pay.
Oh no!
They just bid grandslam.
And made it!
Pay it again. Slam.

Dedicated to my love-hate relationship with duplicate bridge. Love it for the challenge, strategy and thrill. Hate it for the stress and the time it sucks away from my other interests. I swear I don't want to play it any more .... but I don't want to play it any less either (groan). 

BTW, Bogie never said "play it again, Sam" in Casablanca (title of feghoot). but Woody Allen, one of my favorite comedians (my favorite is George Carlin) did make a movie of the that name.


Allen: What are you doing Saturday night?

Woman: Committing suicide.

Allen: What about Friday night?

Base Instinct^^

Things began to get a little nasty at the recent UN conference. Both Pres. Bush of USA and China’s Premier Hu wanted to give the opening address.
“I am the President of the most powerful and richest country in the world. I will speak FIRST.” Bush exclaimed.
“I am the leader one quarter of the world’s population. I have the right to speak FIRST” Hu insisted.
As the argument got more heated, diplomats from both countries worked behind the scenes to avoid World War 3.
It was finally resolved when the Chinese diplomats proved without a doubt that throughout the past fifty years, every American knows that “Hu’s on First”

Dedicated to Abbot and Costello's classic "Who's on First" and to some of my favourite comedians -- George Carlin, Woody Allen, Jon Steward, Stephen Cobert.,
