Playing at the club recently, I’ve had to field the “What happened?” question just about every round. I had a few standard replies which I varied for the sake of sanity including:
“You don’t wanna know.”
“You should see what happened to the other guy!”
“Long story…”
“I didn’t give my partner his ruff!”
I could have just told them the truth, but that would cause more questions and/or pity when really I just wanted to play bridge, so it seemed unwise. However, I didn’t want to lie either. Finally I came up with something funny…
“It was bridge related.”
This amused them because they thought I was making a joke about the card game, and it amused Greg because he knows what actually happened. I’ll keep giving this answer until I get sick of it, then I will just live-spam them with a link this this website.
