@zaphod, that was astounding!!

@zaphod, how did you get 137?

So far I don't know. I think I somehow got the 9C in the last pile free to go up. I am trying to repeat it and if I'll know more I shall post it here

I followed the 2S clue, but I am not getting the rest, at 145.

So I suppose that is your story , and you are sticking to it ? I just love the play on words. I don;t know what it is, but you guys keep hitting me in the ribs. I,m head over heels and feeling like I need some elbow grease. The chip on my shoulder keeps coming back. While we are on the subject, I have an ache in my back that won,t quit. And since I went head over heels, I am wearing a shin splint. My funny bone is acting up. I can only hope that you will not be a thorn in my side. Phew !! I think I have the bees knees., At best I can only describe myself as being a sight for sore eyes. But I do have a green thumb. At this point in time, I think I might have had an ear full. I have to hand it to you. You got me real good this time. I,ve got butterflies in stomach at the thought, I might need to be toed away.

At the first flip I have one empty spot but no K down as yet. After the flip I put 9H on the 10S and then just play and put every available card that comes up. I wait for KH. 9C is free and I move JD and put 10S. It is somehow complicated but I can now consistently do 138. The 137 keeps eluding me.

try bringing down the KH and the QC before flip.

Robin, I got to hand it to you, you definitely have a knack of word play. I get the biggest kick out of it!! OK, at the end of play,I do not bring JH down, the 10D and the JD both play up. Where I am confused is the JS,10S.

According to William, you move the JD to where the JH was when you can move it up. I am still working on the last two moves myself . I have found two or three different ways to get 137 trying different moves after the flip.

I still get 145!!!!!!

Down to 139.

Ok I managed to get 136 now. 6H on 7S. 8C plays over.

Been there, done that.

Im too tired now to work on this anymore for lowest moves

I think the key is bringing down the KH and the QC before the flip. I ma thinking you need to try different moves after flip , provided you set yourself up right before flip

Thanks Robin for all your help, it is appreciated.

I just found a pile of silly jokes that my Dad used to tell before he got to his sermon... they are all pretty silly but in memory of Dad here it goes: a fellow gets drafted and is sent to the front of the line where the war is waging hot and furious. He is terrified, and to make matters worse they have run out of weapons; he doesn't even have a gun. In desperation as the bullets fly around him he gets a flash of inspiration... he points his finger at the bad guys and yells, "bang-ie, bang-ie, bang-ie,". To his amazement... they all fall down dead. Then he hears a terrible sound... "click, click, click" and he realizes he has run out of ammunition. He makes a stabbing move as he yells, "stabby, stabby, stabby", and again they fall down dead. All of a sudden a soldier comes straight for him; he desperately yells, "stabby, stabby, stabby", but he gets run right over! He frantically tries to figure out why his "knife" didn't work.. when he hears, "tanky, tanky, tanky"... Corny, I know!

The Pope was finishing his sermon. He ended it with the Latin phrase, "Tuti homini" - Blessed be mankind. A womens rights group approached the Pope the next day. They noticed that he had blessed all of mankind, but not womankind. So the next day, after his sermon, the Pope concluded by saying, "Tuti homini, et tuti femini" - Blessed be mankind and womankind. The next day, a gay-rights group approached the Pope. They said they had noticed that he had blessed mankind and womankind and asked if he could also bless those who are gay. The Pope said, "OK." The next day, the Pope concluded his sermon with, "Tuti homini, et tuti femini, et tuti fruiti."

@rachel from alaska: Thank for posting a joke. It was good of you to join in

@Rachel, that was not corny, it was funny! Keep them coming.
