Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 25, 2025

he’s right – according to the rulers book, only one should be cheating (and the rest beat him afterward)

Speak for yourself, Capp!

Sounds like someone is better at it than you, Andy. I don’t see any money on the table, so there is that.

I’ve heard of Cheaters – Poker. Just to see who can out-cheat each other without being detected.

Who’s better at it I suppose.

I’m reminded of Del Boy and Boycie playing poker in ‘Only Fools & Horses’.

Del Boy wins a hand and tells Boycie he knew he was cheating.

“How?”, replies Boycie.

“Cos that wasn’t the hand l dealt you!”

At least someone didn’t have 5 Aces.

Or as in ‘Mississippi Hare’, the gambler Bugs is playing against plops down five aces. Bugs calmly replies, “I’ve got SIX aces, sir.”

You will just have to cheat faster Andy.

Smythe used to draw Andy with cards hidden beyond his head sticking out of his shirt collar.

Indeed

I was in a card game in 1975. There were two natural royal flushes in the same hand…. A shame we were playing for pennies.

The same as if nobody was cheating.

In “The Sting” : “Am I supposed to accuse him of cheating better than me?”

Even Snuffy Smith and his pals don’t cheat any longer. When they had a card game going you’d see aces stuck in back of hats, or out of overalls back pockets.

In the military, we were firing the m-16s for the first time. The instructor said that the guy who has the lowest score on the firing range had to clean all the rifles after wanting to do this tedious task, I inflated my disappointing score up to ‘sharpshooter’

,

turns out Everybody else cheated too but they inflated their legitimate sharpshooter scores to ‘expert’.so the guy with the lone sharpshooter score wound up cleaning the rifles anyway.

Start with dealing everyone the same amount of cards !!!!!

Mr. Purple Suit looks shell shocked. Obviously, he’s new to this poker variation.

It’s a cheater’s competition and once again you lose.

And Andy says, “Did I say that out loud?”.

How many Aces of Spades in a regulation deck?

They’ve spent way too much time with Andy. Of course, according to Percy, Andy is in bad company, even when he’s on his own.

@No2

How are you?

Funniest card cheat scene in movies is W.C.Fields in Mississipi.
