| Poker Game Six guys were playing
poker when Smith loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead
at the table. Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five complete
their playing time standing up. Roberts looks around and asks, "Now,
who is going to tell the wife?" They draw straws. Rippington, who is
always a loser, picks the short one. They tell him to be discreet, be
gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse than it is. "Gentlemen!
Discreet? I'm the most discreet man you will ever meet. Discretion is my middle
name, leave it to me." Rippington walks over to the Smith house, knocks
on the door, the wife answers, asks what he wants. Rippington says, "Your
husband just lost $500 playing cards." She hollers, "TELL HIM TO DROP
DEAD!" Rippington says, "I'll tell him." |
