A Bridge too Far





The British tax authority has ruled that Duplicate Bridge cannot be considered a sport for tax exemption as it did not "qualify because it did not involve much physical exertion" and because it was "characterized by a physical element that appears to be negligible." Perhaps he has never been kicked under the card table by a frustrated partner - where I trumped (small t) her ace. The plaintiff also appealed that the "sport" was an excellent way of improving mental acuity and delaying the onset of dementia. Remembering 52 cards would challenge even a Vegas veteran. I pass. Hail Brittania!
