“O.K., I’ll raise you 25.”

“Call.”

“Call.”

“Hey, Bill, what are these drapes made out of?”

“What?”

“The drapes. Is it chenille?”

“Why, yes it is, Doug. I didn’t think you’d notice.”

“Of course, Chenille is a marvelous fabric, isn’t it?”

“I love it. It’s not as grainy as velvet.”

“Um.”

“Hmm.”

“Um, call”

“Yes, call indeed.”

“Two pair.”

“Two queens. I win!”

“How does that win?”

“Two queens wins! Queen of Hearts, Queen of Diamonds. Read ’em and weep.”

“But two queens isn’t anything!”

“Wait, aren’t we playing gay poker?”

“Nope. Regular.”

“Oh. O.K. You win.”
