“How to win friends and influence people”

So, the lady walks into the library to take out this iconic book. Just as she reaches out to take it from the shelve, some guy bump her out of the way and take it.

Says the librarian, “Don’t worry dear, he needs it more than you do.”

Make no mistake, this is a hard and brutal game, apart from the fast and furious pace!
71

Tassies on 4 July 2015 at 10:09 am

I would not be surprised if every Cane player handled in that move. Brilliant.

We have Morne, Lambie and Pollard.
