BIGOT'S LOST FOR WORDS....... ( Another remarkable tale about the most dreadful bridge player alive.........one who I might add many would love to see dead !  )

Bigot-Johnson , as anyone will testify , is renown for his arrogance and rudeness at the tables. One night , when partnering Ronnie, he came to a table where a visiting player was sitting. She was clearly a well educated lady of elegance and refinement , a widely respected bridge player revered for her politeness , ethical behaviour and excellent card technique. All characteristics completely lacking in Bigot.

Not surprisingly Bigot felt a little uncomfortable in her presence , despite having Ronnie to call upon as support. This unease was clearly evident when a hesitant Bigot was found wanting in the bidding and play of the cards. On the last hand of the set he found himself under pressure pressure , when the lady made devastating opening lead against his 4H contract.  Getting himself into a complete fluster Bigot simply proceeded to play like a prune , going 3 off to his great shame and embarrassment.

However , the lady then made a fatal mistake by gently suggesting that there was a successful line he could have taken, if he have bothered to get an accurate count of the hand.  This was like wafting a large red rag to a highly volatile bull. Bigot exploded.....jumped up from his chair....and snorted : " DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM ? "

" No..." said the lady ( an answer which caused Bigot even more distress ) ......and if you really don't know who you are .......then might I suggest you call the TD over...... for he might be able to jog your memory....you poor unfortunate man...."

At that precise moment in time Bigot was completely lost for words.
