[ArtK78]

This is not exactly on point, but it is pretty funny (and sad at the same time).

I was playing in a STAC in a local club this past Thursday evening. My partner and I had an auction that went something like:

1♦ - 1♠ - 2NT - 4NT - 6NT.

After the end of the auction, one of my opponents asked if 4NT asked for aces. I resisted the temptation to state that the 6NT response showed 12 aces and 3 useful voids.

Art: there are so many people for whom at least one of the pair *did* think it was asking for Aces that it's not a bad idea to check - at least when those opponents bid that way :-).

I had an auction that went 1NT-2♠!-3♣!-4♣-...
2♠ was asked and explained as "range ask"
3♣ was asked and explained as "maximum"
4♣ was asked and explained as "I have no clue". The asker then said "I know what it is - it's Gerber", to which partner said "I know one thing - it's not Gerber."
The auction continued: 4♥-6♣. At the end of the auction I volunteered that 4♣ was "keycard for Clubs", to which 4♥ was "one-or-four, but of course, you know already she didn't remember." "So it was Gerber!" "No..."
