    Not what I was expecting

    The local bookstore had this huge display with a sign advertising, "Newly Translated From the Original French: 37 Mating Positions." The book was already wrapped in plain brown wrapper and I just had to buy one.

    Once safely at home and alone, I opened it and found that I had just purchased a very expensive book about... chess.

      Still done in pairs. I hear you can play chess with computers now though. I know mine has tried mating with me many times.

          That was what I was thinking when I read this......


          Wonder if Mark will want to learn "chess" with me.

            I'm glad I'm eating peanuts instead of drinking something.
