A BROAD HINT

Two gentlemen who were playing cards at a club recently were very much annoyed by other members who stood behind their chairs and interested themselves in the game. Finally one of the players asked a spectator to play the hand for him until he returned. The spectator took the cards, whereupon the first player left the room. Pretty soon the second player followed the example of the first. The two substitutes played for some time, when one of them asked the waiter where the two original players were. They are playing cards in the next room, sir,’ was the waiter’s reply.
