The Chit-Chatting-Cheater

While sitting not far from a group of four people - who were vying at euchre one day - I was very impressed with the method one used for the message he meant to convey! He began: “Hey, you guys…have I told ya’ yet…while I was diggin’ taters… I found a fancy antique brooch - with - 2 BIG diamonds in it! The setting’s shaped like a - pair of hearts - and on its back, of course - there’s a little, pointy, spear-like thing to let a person pin it. “The spade that I was digging with… the only one I’ve got… was borrowed from the - single club…to which my wife belongs!!! I’m hopin’ someone feeds the box, an’ plays a little “country”, An’ I think – ‘Queen of Hearts’, and -- ‘From a Jack to a King’ – are both great songs.” The way he’d tipped his partner off was actually down right clever -- combining suits with quantities a fool could understand -- And goes to show what some will do when winning means too much, and what they’re dealt is far from being a euchre-players’ “pat-hand”!
