One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to come up to you and
show you a nice, brand- new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet
broken, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack
of spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do
not bet this man, for as sure as you stand there, you are going to wind up
with an earful of cider.
