Yes indeed....our learned Professor asked one hundred very experienced , extremely astute, but incredibly cynical players to define " bridge ". These are some of their most revealing answers :
Bridge is.....
- the most challenging and rewarding game in the world
- a terrible addiction which takes over your mind , body , and soul
- what many players allow the water flowing underneath to carry off the painful memories of some shocking results
- something we are obliged to cross when dealing with a serious problem
- the nearest thing to a cure which delays the onset of Alzheimers
- a game which brings on abuse from all quarters ( sides ) including one's self
- the spot on your face which takes the full impact of a well aimed blow from your irate partner
- a recreational pastime which might well take a marriage to breaking point or beyond ( hence the phrase a bridge too far )
- easily the best form of escapism ever devised
- what most troubled players prefer to jump off in an attempt to end it all
- the main grounds for establishing " unreasonable behaviour " in acrimonious divorce cases
- what foolish players tend to burn when cutting themselves off from their only means of retreat
