Bridge
is the most entertaining and intelligent card game the wit
of man has so far devised.-
W. Somerset Maugham

Bridge clubs rarely do any business during morning
working hours, and those that open as early as lunchtime
have few games going until later in the afternoon. On
one particular day, a New York club had only four
players, thus only one table in play, at the noontime
hour. The four contestants were quite companionable and
enjoyed their game. However, at one point, one of the
four, a young woman, looked at her watch and announced,
"I'm sorry to have to break up this very pleasant
game, but I'm getting married in half an hour."
