Laughter BETTER Than Winning

Well in a recent card game, (with numbers and colors), one team was so far behind the other in the points category that the purpose of the game was to "Throw Caution to The Wind" and just bid for control and kicks. This method included one round of bidding without looking at the cards (to a bid of more than 164 and less than 166.) Needless to say the bid was not attained. The last round included three "passes" and one bidder that antied up for less than 21 (but more than 19). [Needless to say that this time around the bid was achieve and in fact it was tripled.] At this point in the adventure, a light was shining on a long awaited dream [to put 5 of the color that is higher than all other colors in the non-playable section,] but this was not all the dream was far exceeded. Not only were there 5, of the color that is higher than all other colors, but the one that determined the color was left with none of this color in his or her hand. And to top all dreams, the point value of the cards in non-playable section was that of 2.5 times the original bid and included a little bird and the card that takes all other cards. When it was realized what was happening by those in participation there seemed to be a lack of air in the room as all had a difficult time breathing (between laughter.)

WOW! When dreams are fulfilled!!

Sniffles!
