Playing Bridge

"Playing Bridge"
{For my friend Hedda M. in LIC, NY}

A cleaning woman was applying for a new position.
When asked why she left her last employment, she
replied, "Yes, sir, they paid good wages, but it was the
most ridiculously undignified place I ever worked.

They played a game called Bridge, and last night a lot
of folks were there. As I was about to bring in the
refreshments, I heard a man say, "Lay down and let's
see what you've got." Another man said, "I've got strength
but no length."

Another man says to the lady, "Take your hand off my
trick!"

I pretty near dropped dead just then, when the lady
answered, "You jumped me twice when you didn't have
the strength for one raise."

Another lady was talking about protecting her honor and
two other ladies were talking and one said, "Now it's time
for me to play with your husband and you can play with
mine."

Well, I just got my hat and coat and as I was leaving, I hope
to die if one of them didn't say, "Well, I guess we'll go home
now. This is the last rubber."
