Why it pays to operate against the perpetually braindead GIBBO robots, chapter 14,027:

Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Cartwright At Home One Evening

Mrs. C.: "Honey, did you forget to take out the garbage today?

Mr. C.: "No, dear. I took it out like I do every day. Why do you ask?"

Mrs. C.: "I'm sorry, darling. You know I trust you to do your chores. It's just that for exactly the last hour I feel as if I have been smelling garbage in here."

Mr. C. "Well, never mind that, sweetheart. I'd like you to meet two good friends of mine. Their names are Frick and Frack. They are those GIBBO robots I told you about."

Mrs. C.: "I'm pleased to meet you, Mr. Frick. Would you like some coffee, Mr. Frack? By the way, how long ago did you gentlemen arrive at our house?"

Frick: "Exactly one hour ago, Mrs. Cartwright."

Mrs. C. : "Exactly one hour ago?! That's what I thought! Herbert, I want to see you privately in the kitchen...right NOW!"

Good evening, ladies and gentleman. My name is Johnny Halfwit. I am a proud GIBBO robot, and in tonight's demonstration I will show you an EXCELLENT lead that one of my GIBBO brothers recently made.

Many human players would have led a DIAMOND from their FIVE-card suit, but I'm pleased to say that my fellow robot was wise enough to lead a HEART from his THREE-card suit, in the hope of establishing one or more of his three hearts as winners. REMARKABLY, however, neither his three, nor his four, nor EVEN (!) his FIVE (!!) took a trick! Obviously, this was a freak hand!

My GIBBO colleague scored 7.1 % on the board, while his NS opponents ( a HUMAN, and another GIBBO brother of mine, who was unlucky enough to be saddled with a HUMAN partner - because we ALL know that "we play MUCH better than most humans"!) scored 92.9 %. A travesty! Why was my brother's EXCELLENT lead not rewarded with a top? No justice, no justice at ALL!

This is Johnny Halfwit signing off. Please tune in again tomorrow for FURTHER proof of how great we robots play! And you can trust ME, because I come from a LONG line of Halfwits, ALL of whom were either GIB or GIBBO robots!

The GIBBO "defenders" - Ding in the West and Bat in the East BOTH pitch down to only two clubs, so I score THREE club tricks, with NO club losers.

Thank you for your USUAL generosity, Dingbats!

The GIBBO partnership of Simon Simpleton in the West and Donald J. Dumbo in the East does not exactly shine, as BOTH these GIBBO dimwits pitch hearts at trick 11. They're both as stupid as someone who would stare into an eclipse with the naked eye. In fact, maybe one of them did?

West thinks 3S is a good bid. I don't.

I do, however, think that it proves he's a....GIBBO robot (a "bridge player" with less intelligence than a slice of processed cheese).
