Poker gems, #6

Max Shapiro, in his Card Player magazine column, May 23, 2007:

There's an old joke about a guy coming home late from a poker game to find his hideous harpy of a wife waiting for him with a rolling pin. She demands to know where the hell he's been, and he tells her she'll have to pack all of her things because he just lost her in a card game.

"How could you manage to do such a thing?" she screams.

"It wasn't easy, dear," he replies. "I had to fold a royal flush."
