It's Only A Game (S677-730)
By Charley M. Schulz Edited by Derrick Bang |
![]() |
In 1957, during a period of immense
creativity, Peanuts
creator Charles M. Schulz launched
another comic series,
It's Only A Game.
These cartoons turned the trademark
Schulz wit on the world of sports,
games, and pastimes.
I will put a few of these comics
in the Sunday Morning
Laughs, mostly the ones about
bridge. If you like them,
please buy the book at www.aboutcomics.com.

Murder At The Bridge Table (S608c)
From: Snopes.com on 9/1/2008 Drawing from HaroldSchogger.com |
It is wisely said there are three
activities a married
couple should never attempt
to undertake together: play
bridge, hang wallpaper, or learn
how to drive. The
disagreements so provoked can
all too often prove to be
murder.
On the evening of September 29,
1929, John and Myrtle
Bennett of Kansas City were
hosts a bridge game which
ended in murder. You can

the above source, or on my web
site by clicking 'HERE'.

Games (S548, S738)
From: LABLaughsClean on 7/15/2007
and
From: ezines@arcamax.com on 3/2/2011
As an assistant professor, I
taught during the day and did
research at night. I would
usually take a break around
eight, however, to play the
strategy game Warcraft online
with a teammate.
One night, I was paired with
a veteran of the game who was
a master strategist. With
him at the helm, our troops
crushed one opponent after another
and after six games, we
were undefeated. Suddenly,
my fearless leader informed me
his mom wanted him to go to
bed.
"How old are you"? I typed.
"Twelve," he replied. "How old are you"?
Feeling my face redden, I answered, "Ten."

Subj: Bridge
Quotes (S525c)
From: redcatt on 2/9/2007
Acceptable excuses for not leading
the suit your partner
had opened: having no cards
in the suit, and sudden death.
-- Alfred Sheinwold
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is not the handling of difficult
hands that makes the
winning player. There
aren't enough of them. It is the
ability to avoid messing up
the easy ones.
-- Alan Sontag
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My partner is 20 years behind
the times. Nowadays you pay
your money to Bid. My
partner still thinks you need cards.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's not enough to win the tricks
that belong to you. Try
also for some that belong to
the opponents.
-- Alfred Sheinwold
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The real test of a bridgeplayer
isn't in keeping out of
trouble, but in escaping once
he's in.
-- Alfred Sheinwold
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The trouble with women is that
they treat bridge as a game.
They do not realize it is a
war.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have the slightest touch
of masochism, you'll love
this game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We believe that contract bridge
is particularly attractive
to people with a scrappy disposition.
-- Frank Perkins
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's not the skill that drops
off with age, it's the drive,
the killer instinct, and when
a man isn't primed to kill
he makes mistakes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bridge is a great comfort in
your old age. It also helps
you get there faster.
One gets used to abuse. It's
waiting for it that is so trying.
-- Rueful Rabbit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since the average person's small
supply of politeness must
last him all his life, he can't
afford to waste it on
bridge partners. -- Alfred
Sheinwold
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bridge is essentially a social
game, but unfortunately it
attracts a substantial number
of antisocial people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One advantage of bad bidding
is that you get practice at
playing atrocious contracts.
-- Alfred Sheinwold
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Where's the hand you held during
the auction?" a comment
Jan Nanitschke has made when
dummy hits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
South: Alert! East: Yes?
South: I'm requested to
further misdescribe my hand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most bridge players prefer consistency
in their partners
rather than brilliance.
-- Matthew Granovetter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sum of all technical knowledge
cannot make a master
contract player. -- Ely
Culbertson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A knowledge of the mechanics
will suffice to put a player
in a commanding position in
the post-mortem. To become a
member of the upper crust calls
for more, much more --
resilience, imagination, occasional
flashes of inspiration:
these are the hallmarks of quality.
And this transcends
the realm of science.
-- Victor Mollo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The difference between genius
and stupidity is that genius
has its limits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Card sense is when it's technically
right to do something,
the little man that sits on
my shoulder or anyone else's
shoulder says, "Don't do that."
And you say to yourself,
"Well, wait a minute, that's
the right way to play."
And he says, "Yeah, but you
don't wanna play that way."
That instinct is card sense.
It's almost an ability to
feel where the cards are.
It's something that you can't
buy, you can't find; you're
born with it. The ability to
do the right thing at the wrong
time or really to do the
wrong thing at the right time.
-- Barry Crane
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm not sure whether glory or
masterpoints is first on
the list, but I know learning
to play better is definitely
last. -- Eddie Kantar
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'd like a review of the bidding
with all the
original inflections.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The average defender operates
in a fog of uncertainty.
-- H. W. Kelsey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Regardless of what sadistic impulses
we may harbor,
winning bridge means helping
partner avoid mistakes.
-- Frank Stewart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A player who can't defend accurately
should try to be
declarer. -- Alfred Sheinwold
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The real secret of the expert
is to make logic seem
like flair. -- Hugh Kelsey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you play bridge with your
wife as partner, you need
at least 20 points to open,
and it wouldn't hurt to
have 25. -- Joe James
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Learn from the mistakes of others.
You won't live long
enough to make them all yourself.
-- Alfred Sheinwold
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I favor light opening bids.
When you're my age, you're
never sure they're going to
get back to you in time.
-- Oswald Jacoby at 77
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think we're all a little masochistic.
Otherwise, why
would we continue to play bridge?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We had a partnership misunderstanding.
My partner
assumed I knew what I was doing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your play was much better tonight,
and so were
your excuses.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We play forcing hesitations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A fellow had made a bad bid and
gone down for 1400. "I'm
sorry," he said to his partner,
"I had a card misplaced."
Asked his partner innocently,
"Only one card?".
-- Charles Goren
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If I did everything right, I wouldn't be playing with you!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I take a 50-50 chance I
expect it to come off 8 or 9
times out of 10....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The definition of the "Perfect
Bridge Partner" (S609b)
From:
Phil at the Bridge Center on 9/11/2008
The "Perfect Bridge Partner"
is someone who plays
better bridge than
you, but doesn't know it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: kgilmour2000 on 5/8/2010 (S696b)
You know you're in trouble when
the first thing
the opponents decide to do is
draw trumps, and
you're the declarer.

Bridge Trivia/Puzzle (S632)
From: Puzzles And Brain Teasers on 2/12/2009 Drawing from Vanderbilt Bridge Links |
In the game of bridge, all the
cards are dealt to 4 players-13
cards to each who usually play
as partners, one pair against
the other. That should
be all you need to know in order to
answer the following two questions
about situations that might
arise in a game.
F L U S H. You and your partner
have been dealt a surprising
hand. Together you have
all 13 cards of one suit. Is this
event more or less likely than
one in which you and your
partner together have no cards
in one of the suits?
PAPER PERFECT. Every few years
a newspaper story will report
that players at a local bridge
game were witness to a
"perfect deal": that is, each
player got all 13 cards of a
suit. How many of these
deals would you expect to occur
anywhere in the world during
this decade?
