A man killed his preferans partner and is brought before the judge. The judge asks him to explain what happened. He says, “You see, Your Honor, I called whist. I am showing hearts, but the deceased puts out clubs. I am again going with hearts, and the deceased still puts out clubs. What would you do, Your Honor?” “Candelabra! – screams the judge,- Grab a candelabra, and hit him, hit him over the head, the idiot!” “But that’s what I did, Your Honor…”

it used to be a skull

I’d buy that. Might ring up a hefty sum at the auctions after the court hearings come. Morbid but lucrative 😈
