Immoral Behavior

[marval]

Applying for a new position as a cleaning lady, the woman was asked why she had left her previous job.

"I just wasn't comfortable with their immoral behavior," she replied.

"Really? Like what did they do?"

"Well, they played some sexual game they called 'Bridge'. One night I heard a man say, 'Lay down and let's see what you've got.'

"Then another man said, 'I've got strength but no length.' And another man said, 'Take your hand off my trick!'

"A woman said, 'You jumped me twice when you didn't have the strength for one raise.'

"Another woman talked about 'protecting her honor'. And another woman said, 'It's time for me to play with your husband and you to play with mine.'

"But the final straw was when I heard, 'It's time to go home. This is the last rubber'!"

As a bridge player I LOLed at that.

There is a story, not quite sure if it's apocryphal, of a bridge game in America in the 20s. A husband and wife were partnering each other. On one hand the wife was dealer. To her delight she picked up a hand containing all thirteen spades. Forgetting that as dealer she would not be on lead, she decided to go for the highest possible score and opened 7 No Trumps. She did not take a single trick. At the end of the deal her husband rose, took out his little Derringer from his waistcoat pocket and shot her straight through the heart. He was duly arraigned for capital murder. The judge, a bridge player, on hearing the facts of the matter, dismissed the case on the grounds of justifiable homicide.

I hadn't heard that story Mike, mind you I have never played Bridge.

Great marval. I have never played Bridge either, but I understood the joke.

Bridge can be addictive. Many years ago I would miss meals in order to sit at the bridge table and not miss a deal. This was not gambling - just the pleasure of the game.

I've played 'Bridge' but I must admit I prefer 'Poker' but then thats just me.
