Latest Cribbage Victory Declared Bullshit!

Nashua, NH - Mark Sawyer's latest thrilling victory in Cribbage was somewhat diminished when Jennifer Sawyer declared it "Bullshit". The two had been engaged in a battle for more than 25 minutes when they came around the turn and approached the the 120 point marker.

"I was playing a solid game. You can only use what cards you are given. Sure I got a little lucky when I held Ace, Two, Two, Four and prayed for a Three. My prayer was answered when the Three of Clubs reared its head and I went on to a double run. But hey, Jenn flipped the card over, not me."

This recent declaration brought back unpleasant memories of the famous Monopoly Incident where the couples cats were removed from the home by the ASPCA for "protective custody". Jennifer made a similar pronouncement of the Looney Tunes Monopoly Addition favoring the lanky competitor from Acton , MA.

"He got to go first to try and go out. There was no way I was going to peg twelve points just playing out the hand. This is total bullshit," said the distraught Mrs. Sawyer, a debutante from Hingham accustomed to everyone losing to her so as to not provoke her anger.

The bad feelings were exacerbated by Miss Weber's defeat earlier in the day at Rummy 500 by her longtime friend Becky Harris. "Mark knows better than to play with her after I cleaned her clock. She barely got 300 points. What kind of mood did he think she was going to be in?"

"She just needs some time to get her thoughts together and figure out if Cribbage is her bag. Some people were just meant not to play."

Jennifer had this final statement. "If I lose again, I am just going to have to headbutt him with my gigantic cranium."
