A chapter in the book Short
Fat Hand
by Bill Schott
"Hey, Carl, guess what?"
"What."
"My wife lost a hundred pounds of fat."
"I would say she divorced you, but she'd still have more than a hundred pounds of ugly fat left."
"Funny. No, she lost it all in a poker game."
"How is that possible?"
"She played to an inside straight."
