6-Diamonds, which East of course
doubled. When this reached North,
he bid 6-Spades and East doubled.
North thereupon redoubled. West

Had he led a heart, as North want

West if he hadn't heard the cue

lie MAY NOT HEAR

ONE OF THE BEST laughs in
the game comes when an inatten-
tive opponent failed to pay atten-
ton to your psychic bid and be-
cause of that leads the very suit
which will beat your overambitious
contract. A good sense Of humor is
important to you then. If you can't
take it when the joke is on you,
psychic bids are bad things for you
to monkey with. Besides costing
you plenty of points, they can ruin
your fun.
