My uncle was dining out with friends when he mentioned an upcoming trip. He also shared an anecdote about his housekeeper and a story about how the cleaners ruined his suit. Little did he know that the man in the next booth was hearing every word.
The eavesdropper followed my uncle home to find out where he lived, then returned when he knew my uncle would be out of town. The man acquainted himself with the housekeeper by teasing her about the incident my uncle mentioned and brought over a suit he claimed the cleaners had repaired. He told the housekeeper he had been invited by my uncle to stay a few days, and she fell for it. He took over the house, and when a neighbor called the police, the intruder convinced them the house was his and that my uncle was delusional and was hassling him. My uncle had to go to court to prove the house was his.
By that time, the intruder had destroyed the house. clear abby Universal Press Syndicate Believe me, Abby, the worst can happen. Cautious in Washington State DEAR CAUTIOUS: That's a chilling story. However, not all of my readers viewed that letter from the same perspective. Read on: DEAR ABBY: The grandmother's tale reminded me of the story about a man who stopped at a rest stop.
When he entered the men's room, he saw that the first stall was taken, so he proceeded to the second and was no sooner seated than he heard someone in the next stall call out, "How ya doin'?" The traveler replied hesitantly, "Not bad." The stranger asked, "What have you been up to?" The traveler answered, "I'm driving east." A moment later he heard the stranger say, "I'll call you right back some idiot in the next stall is answering all the questions I'm asking YOU!"

If South finesses his queen, West wins his king and returns his jack to establish a total of three defensive club winners. South must lead hearts to gain his nine winners; when he does, the defenders win three clubs, a diamond and a heart for one down. West probably would have led a club had he held a five-card suit, headed by a couple of honors. Because he did not, South was marked with at least three clubs, making the lead of the 10 a standout choice.

Traditional defense and custom got in the way. A break from custom would have defeated the game. What should East have done at trick West studied his choice of leads: an aggressive club or a passive diamond? The lead of a major did not appeal North had shown an interest in hearts, and South had bid spades. Fortunately for his side, West chose a passive diamond 10.
South ducked in dummy and East won his king. Obviously, it was time for a club shift, but East fell from grace. Sticking to custom, he led his fourth-best club. Alertly, South ducked, and dummy's 9 forced West to play the jack. This ended chances for the defense.
After South dislodged the heart ace, he could claim an overt rick. East should have known it was time to break tradition.
