Card Game Know-It-All

The four men at the card table were being bothered by an
irritating know-it-all. When the troublesome talker stepped
into the next room, one of the players suggested, "This next
hand let's make up a game nobody ever heard of-he won't know
what the hell we're playing and maybe that will shut him up."

When the know-it-all returned, the dealer tore the top two
cards in half and gave them to the man on his right; he tore
the corners off the next three cards and placed them before
the next player, face up; he tore the next five cards in
quarters, gave fifteen pieces to the third man, four to
himself and put the last piece in the center of the table.

Looking intently at four small pieces of card in his hand,
the dealer said, "I have a mingle, so I think I'll bet a
dollar."

The second man stared at the pasteboards scattered before
him. "I have a snazzle," he announced, "so I'll raise you a
dollar."

The third man folded without betting and the fourth, after
due deliberation, said, "I've a farfle, so I'll raise you two
dollars."

The know-it-all shook his head slowly from side to side.
"You're crazy," he said, "you're never going to beat a mingle
and a snazzle with a lousy farfle."
