Bridge & Humor

Sheryl accompanied Wayne, her bridge partner, to the doctor’s office.

After his checkup, the doctor called Sheryl into his office alone and says:

Wayne is suffering from a very severe stress disorder. If you don’t follow my instructions carefully, he will surely die:

– Never point out any mistake he makes.

– Be pleasant at all times.

– Don’t burden him with conventions and bidding systems.

– Always give him a hug when he feels down.

– And never discuss the hands.

If you can do this for the next few months, I think Wayne will regain his health completely.”

On the way home, Wayne asked Sheryl, “What did the doctor say?”

“He said you’re going to die,” she replied
