I'm in a casino with my friend Ty, and as we walk past a card table we notice that the player is Saddam Hussein. He's standing alone at the table, facing away from the aisle on which we're walking, holding a deck of cards, appearing to be annoyed that nobody is available to play the card game with him.

We stop at the nearest empty table, but far enough away that he can't see us, and try to really quickly learn his card game, so that we can drop by his table and say that's our favorite too, and get a game going. But it's not that easy to learn a card game so fast, a few minutes pass and by the time we're ready, Hussein is gone.
