ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BRIDGE JOKES..........( Unearthed by Bridgemeister Gibson )

Frank, a rather dominating sort of bridge player, took his shell-shocked partner to the doctors. However, after his partner came back into the waiting room, Frank was completely bowled over when he was asked to go in and see the very same doctor .

" Your partner is suffering from a very severe stress disorder. If you don't follow my instructions to the letter, he will surely die :

1. Never point out any of his mistakes
2. Be pleased with him at all times
3. Don't burden him with conventions and bidding systems he can't understand
4. Always praise him at every opportunity he gets something right
5. Always give him words of encouragement whenever he falls down
6. Never in the discussion of hands lay the blame on his doorstep

If you can do this for the next few months, I think your partner will regain his health completely."

As Frank meets up with his partner outside, he is immediately asked " What did the doctor say ? "

With a mournful look in his eye, Frank repled : " He said you're going to die ."
