ha! I was the operator at the table when Cheek said this to Joe Grue on the weekend.

Here's the hands:

Grue was in fine form, check his actions on Bd 44 and 47. And on 48 Gupta missed a chance given to him by the defense to make his contract and I think go thru to the next stage.

"We need our rally caps now."
"You guys need a new IMP scale."

To the best of my recollection, the setup came from Fred Stewart. The punchline came from Mark Itabashi en route to a semifinal or final win in the 1998 GNT.

"Moooooo."
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

There was another cute quote from that set after Grue baby-psyched a 1S response after 1H-(X).

There was discussion among the commentators about whether the Indians would field the psyche (yes, it took half a round of bidding to do so) and one commentator, a Canadian whose name escapes me said:

"Gupta was using that routine before Grue was even born."

I mentioned this to Subby Gupta at the Victory Dinner later that night and he broke up.

The commentator was Martin Johnson (fabsayc). The vugraph commentary was really enjoyable!
