You Guys Playing Cards?
I was interviewing a cleaning woman that was applying for a position in
helping with the upkeep in a house I was rehabbing and occupying, in
this small town Florida community.
When I asked the reason she had left
her last employer, she replied, "Well, sir, they paid good wages, but I'm tellin' ya, it was the most
ridiculous and sinful place I've ever worked. My last night they were
playing some kind of game called Bridge and a lot of local town folks
were
there that I recognized from the social pages of our town newspaper."
"I was
about to bring in the refreshments, when 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.'"
"Then another man says to a lady, 'Take your hand off my
trick!'"
"I pretty near damn near dropped the tray and dropped dead just then,
when I was shocked to my senses to hear the lady answer, 'You jumped me
twice when you said you didn't have the strength for one more raise.'"
"Another lady was talking about protecting her honor. And I couldn't
believe it, in this respectable community, hearing yet another lady call out,'Now it's time for me to play with your husband and you can play with
mine.'"
"Well, with them shenanigans goin' on, 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 all go home now, cuz this is the last rubber.'"
