Cards Played

Famous quotes containing the words cards and/or played:

    The world is a puzzling place today. All these banks sending us credit cards, with our names on them. Well, we didn’t order any credit cards! We don’t spend what we don’t have. So we just cut them in half and throw them out, just as soon as we open them in the mail. Imagine a bank sending credit cards to two ladies over a hundred years old! What are those folks thinking?
    Sarah Louise Delany (b. 1889)

    They played the eloquent tum-tum,
    And lived on scalps served up in rum—
    The only sauce they knew.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
