May I publicly express my thanks to DP for his timely intervention, without which there would have been nothing left to the imagination.
What a ruckus this has caused. Half the members say it has gone too far. The other half say; not to far enough!
Maw, Whit if he Ever Gets Oot?
'Way up in the far north o' Chicago,
Dressed up in his sporran and dirk,
Wee Sandy McThoh, for the very first time,
Was ta'en alang tae the kirk.
He gaped at the box kin' o' pulpit,
His moo near as roon' as the mune,
An' gripped at his Maw, as the beadle he saw,
A-lockin' the meenister in.
The time cam' for hearin' the sermon,
An' feart-like was wee Thoh's look,
As stoor fairly jumped, when the meenister thumped
An' pounded his nieves on the Book.
The guid man reached oot, an' he shouted
An' bellowed an ruffled his hair,
He cried and he craved and ranted and raved,
An' waggled his fists in the air.
Wee Thoh was shakin' wi' terror,
Fair frantic he looked roon' aboot,
"Oh, mither," said he, "wull we a' hae tae flee,
If ever that mannie ever gets oot?"
Meaning of unusual words:
moo=mouth
beadle=church official
stoor=dust
nieves=fingers
PJ and myself on the other hand, prefer to read quietly about who begat who, with a bit of Sodom and Gomorrah in the mix.
BLACKJACK
Mark appealed, "
It would help to know how many 10s have been played."
Sure! Why don't we play with the cards face up!
However, he makes a good point because
There are 32 cards that can make Mark bust. (Don't forget the non-face TENS) 21 face cards have already been seen. And of the 37 non face cards played anywhere between 0 and 8 could have been TENS. So of the possible bust cards, between 21 and 29 have been played. This leaves between 3 and 11 bust cards still in the deck of 44 remaining cards.
(Remember: The dealer has one card down but we know it is not a face card or a 10 because the dealer would have already shown a blackjack).
So his odds of drawing a bust card are between 3/44 and 11/44 or 6.8% and 25%.
He has to take a hit. (In the nicest possible way)
Talking of bust, what did TTH make of Thoh's play? Mark thought, "
I wondered if you had nesting in mind". I put that question to
TTH:
bdielg iciwoauys = delicious in a big way
So there you have it
Changed letters! Blame the Hapmsters
They leave here ok! Well, mostly; ok sometimes, although maybe never. :wink:
This was fun: COARNSRWEECRT?
TTH = CORRECT ANSWER
Thoh = (in)correct answer
Mark = incorrect answer

All well and good, but the: ANSWER was (IN)CORRECT
