THOUGHT FOR THE DAY..... ( By Dr. Sigmund T. Schukelgruber )

When you take up bridge with passion and commitment , you will soon find......

- your family and friends drifting away
- no one wanting to spend any time with you
- what it is like to be isolated and alone
- your interest in politics , art and literature completely disappearing
- sex becoming a meaningless distraction , or a thing of the past
- how becoming an introverted and self-centred individual upsets so many people  
- your one-track mind focusing only on bridge
-  " cold turkey " pains racking your body when deprived of a game  
- nothing else in your life having any relevance or significance at all
- communication with others being restricted to other bridge addicts like you 

There are , of course , other advantages but these are the main ones .
