At least I get to keep the Boswell

[andya27]

Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you. But I get to keep the Boswell.

Looks like they had Jacks or Better to open AND Trips to win!
Why do you get to keep the pipe ... not part of the pot?

 

[layinpipe]

It would have been better if the pipe in question WAS a pot! :D

Well, some say this shape got its name as you could sit it down while playing poker. It sounds as likely as anything else I've heard.
And as the singer reminds us, sometimes you gotta know when to run...with the poker when you don't have the ante.

Let us also not forget what another singer reminds us, "you got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, and know when to run."......

The Boswell had her maiden smoke this morning - Frogmorton's Cellar.
I don't have a briar that I smoke with aros - I've always used my cobs. I'm thinking this poker will be my aro briar.
