An out of towner came into Reno and
looked for a nice card game. At one
casino he found a table at which
there were five players. One of them
was a beagle. The man said, "Sure is
something, a dog playing cards."
Another player said, "He's not so good.
When he's got a good hand, he wags his tail!"
They named a card game after him - Rummy!
They didn't mind his marking the cards,
but one day somebody came in and
saw him marking his sleeves.
A group of men are playing cards at Sid's house.
A kibitzer rushes in and says, "Sid, Tommy's in
the kitchen making love to your wife." Sid says,
"That's it. Guys, this is positively the last deal!"
He's a conservative player. When he opens the pot,
you can throw away four kings.
A game is going hot and heavy, in which each of the
players is a man of the cloth. At about midnight a
policeman bursts into the room. "All right, break
it up!" One clergyman says, "Break what up?"
"Come on. I know you've been playing cards.
The policeman looks the priest straight in the eye.
"Have you been playing poker, Padre?"
The priest says, "Of course not."
"How about you, Reverend Cagle?"
The Lutheran minister shakes his head.
"Me, play cards?" Rabbi Stein also denies playing,
as do two of the other men. The policeman asks the
Baptist minister, the last man left, "How about
you Reverend? Have you been playing cards?"
The Baptist minister says, "With whom?"
A group of women are playing poker. In one hand the
betting was furious. Finally, all the money was in
the pot with only two players left. Marsha said,
"What have you got?"
Gloria said, "Jacks."
"How many?"
"One."
"Good. I thought you were bluffing."
