short story |
A cleaning woman was applying for a new position. When asked why she had left her last employment, she replied:
Well sir. the wages were good, but it was the most ridiculous place I ever worked.
They played a game they called bridge, and last night a lot of folks were there.
As I was about to bring the refreshments, I heard a man say: “Lay down and let’s see what you’ve got”.
Another man said. “I’ve got strength but not much length.” Then another man said to a lady “Take your hand off my trick.”
I pretty near dropped dead just when a lady answered: “You forced me, you jumped me twice and you didn’t even have the strength for one good raise.”
Another lady talked about protecting her honour, but two other ladies said:
“Now it’s my turn to play with your husband while you play with mine.”
Well, I got my hat and coat and as I was leaving - I hope to die, if I didn’t hear one say: “well, I guess we can go home now. That was our last rubber.”
