Bridge is like sex, if you don't have a good partner, you better have a good hand!

Is there any chance this joke can get retired? I think all of us have read it about some hundreds of times...and it wasn't that funny the first time either

Not a BBO id, but one of my college bridge club shirts said "coed naked bridge" on front, and "it's all fun and games until someone loses the rubber" on the back.

The first thing the new president of Bristol University did when I handed over to him was to put that as our official slogan.
I refused to buy one of the bridge club t-shirts as a result

This is bottom of the barrel, but I have always wondered what non bridge players might think about partially overheard conversations like:
"I had a stiff..."...."...squeezed righty first for an extra trick..."..."...and then double squeezed both for another trick."

Yes, this thread shows that womens' bridge tournaments still have a raison d'etre.

That's not fair. I don't want to read or hear sceptic's jokes either.

Once had a T-shirt with a quote from Sontag's Power Precision book:
"Pretentious student upstart playing fancy club system"
"Pretentious student upstart playing fancy club system"

Masterminding (pron. m

That's right! I've heard what women talk about when they think there are no men around. And men do need to be protected from that.

Oh really? I get the impression that men think that women talk about which guy has the most money and the biggest reproductive organ. But that's not true. Our evaluation criteria are much more subtle than that.

Thats true, you are also impressed by his car, general dress sense and ability with small children.
