I Know Them All: Bubba was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them." Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Bubba how about Tom Cruise?" "Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it. " So Bubba and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruises door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise, shouts, "Bubba! Great to see you! You and your friend come right in and join me for lunch! " Although impressed, Bubbas boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruises house, he tells Bubba that he thinks Bubbas knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name anyone else," Bubba says. "President Clinton," his boss quickly retorts. "Yes," Bubba says, "I know him, lets fly out to Washington." And off they go. At the White House, Clinton spots Bubba on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, "Bubba, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and lets have a cup of coffee first and catch up." Well, the boss is very shaken by now, but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White house grounds, he expresses his doubts to Bubba, who again implores him to name anyone else. "The Pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Bubba. "My folks are from Poland, and Ive known the Pope a long time." So off they fly to Rome. Bubba and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Bubba says, "This will never work. I cant catch the Popes eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I will come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican. Sure enough, half an hour later Bubba emerges with the Pope on the balcony. But by the time Bubba returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to his boss side, Bubba asks him, "What happened?" His boss looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said, "Whos that on the balcony with Bubba?

Drunk on the Subway: A drunk man who smelled like cheap wine sat down on a subway seat next to a priest. The mans tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick, and a half empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began reading. After a few minutes the man turned to the priest and asked, "Say, Father, what causes arthritis?" "My Son, its caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol and a contempt for your fellow man." "Well, I will be hornswaggled," the drunk muttered, returning to his paper. The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. "I am very sorry. I didnt mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?" "I dont have it, Father. I was just reading here that the Pope does".

I was also at 149 but by not bringing down cards I dont need to put other cards on them, I am down to 146

So, how did you get 146?

Give Me A Push: A man is in bed with his wife when there is a rat-a-tat-tat on the door. He rolls over and looks at his clock, and its half past three in the morning. "I am not getting out of bed at this time," he thinks, and rolls over. Then, a louder knock follows. "Arent you going to answer that?" says his wife. So he drags himself out of bed and goes downstairs. He opens the door and there is man standing at the door. It didnt take the homeowner long to realize the man was drunk. "Hi there," slurs the stranger. "Can you give me a push?" "No, get lost. Its half past three. I was in bed," says the man and he slams the door. He goes back up to bed and tells his wife what happened. "Dave, that wasnt very nice of you," she says. "Remember that night we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up from the babysitter, and you had to knock on that mans house to get us started again? What would have happened if he would have told us to get lost?" "But the guy was drunk," says the husband. "It doesnt matter," says the wife. "He needs our help and it would be the Christian thing to help him." So the husband gets out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs. He opens the door, and not being able to see the stranger anywhere, he shouts, "Hey, do you still want a push?" And he hears a voice cry out, "Yeah, please." So, still being unable to see the stranger, he shouts, "Where are you?" "I am over here," the stranger replies, "on your swing."

A very well-known international furniture and interior decoration D.I.Y. Store recently set up a customer assistance department. The first call they got was from a lady who had purchased a wardrobe early in the morning. She explained that after assembly the wardrobe had crumbled three times when the public transport bus passed in front of her house. The store sent a technician over to her place. He reassembled the wardrobe - which was in the night hall on the second floor - and then went into it to observe what would happen when the bus, which was due a few minutes later, went by. The phone rang just then and the lady went downstairs to take the call. Just then her husband came home from work with a terrible flue condition. Hearing his wife on the phone he trudged upstairs where he found the wardrobe; on opening one of the doors and seeing the man inside he exclaimed "What the dickens are you doing in there!?!" To which the guy replied "I know you will never believe this, but I am waiting for the bus!!"

Summer being here and my clinics taking more time, I shall spend less tome on SC. You will read less from me. HAVE A HAPPY 4th OF JULY

Thanks @zaphod, you have a safe and happy 4th.

@zaphod, how did you find 128?

By leaving the KC in the pile first. Also only bringing down cards which might be needed to put an other card on it and then gradually putting all cards but the KC on the A piles. But I( cant go lower than128 regardless what I am trying to do

I tried it your way and come up with 135, the KC played over. I had not been bringing the KC down until after the 5C played up, and that was for 129, so I do not know.

As I said I cant replicate it. But we seem to be doing similarly. I also have been at 129 and then I probably omitted to bring down one card and that brought me to128./But now I am stock at that.

I get higher count easily, but cant get below 128

126 but dont as yet know how I did it.

125 I followed the clues from Max (William) Important not to bring down any cards but what he lists. After the flip just be patient. Bring down 8C and keep playing. Dont move QC it will come up by itself, QD on KS will be the last move

Go on @harleyman. You can do it. You are so close. Happy Independence Day
