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"
Psych (pron. saik): A gross and deliberate misstatement of honour strength and/or suit length. Expressly permitted under Law 73E but forbidden contrary to that law by Acol club tourneys.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mPosted ImagesPosted ImagetPosted Imager-mPosted ImagendPosted Imageing) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.

"Gentlemen, when the barrage lifts." 9th battalion, King's own Yorkshire light infantry,
2000 years earlier: "morituri te salutant"

"I will be with you, whatever". Blair to Bush, precursor to invasion of Iraq

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.

The Ultimate Bridge Joke

A cleaning woman was applying for a new position and when asked why she
left her last employment, she replied: "Yessir, they paid good wages, but
it was the most ridiculous place I ever worked. They played a game called
Bridge and last night a lot of folks were there. As I was about to bring
in the refreshments, I heard a man say: "Lay down and let's see what
you've got." Another man says, "I got strength and no length." And
another man says to the lady: "Take your hands off my trick." I pretty
near dropped dead just then when the lady answered: "You forced me. You
jumped me twice when you didn't have the strength for one raise. Another
lady was talking about protecting her honor, and two lades were talking
and saying, "Now it's time for me to play with your husband and you can
play with mine. Well, 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 go home now.
That was the last rubber!!"
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
So many experts, not enough X cards.
