Poker At It's Best
Two couples were playing poker one evening. John accidentally
dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent down under the
table to pick them up, he noticed Bill's wife Sue wasn't
wearing any underwear under her dress!
Shocked by this, John sat back up again and emerged red-faced.
Later, John went to the kitchen to get some refreshments.
Bill's wife followed and asked, "Did you see anything that you
liked under there?" Surprised by her boldness, John courageously
admitted that, well indeed he did.
She said, " Well, you can have it but it will cost you $500."
After taking a minute or two to assess the financial and moral
costs of this offer John confirms that he is interested. She
tells him that since her husband Bill works Friday afternoons
and John doesn't, John should be at her house around 2 p.m.
Friday afternoon.
When Friday rolled around, John showed up at Bill's house at
2 p.m. sharp and after paying Sue the agreed sum of $500 they
went to the bedroom and closed their transaction, as agreed.
John quickly dressed and left.
As usual, Bill came home from work at 6 p.m. and upon entering
the house, asked his wife abruptly. "Did John come by the house
this afternoon?"
With a lump in her throat Sue answered "Why yes, he did stop
by for a few minutes this afternoon."
Her heart nearly skipped a beat when her husband curtly asked,
"And did he give you $500?"
In terror she assumed that somehow he had found out and after
mustering her best poker face, replied, "Well, yes, in fact he
did give me $500."
Bill, with a satisfied look on his face, surprised his wife by
saying, "Good I was hoping he did. John came by the office this
morning and borrowed $500 from me. He promised me he'd stop by
our house this afternoon on his way home and pay me back."
Now THAT, my friends, is a poker player!
