It was supposed to be a poker game for the guys, but the ladies had come in and taken over a corner of the room. As they talked the guys set up things for the game and complained about the intrusion. When the ladies decided to comment they just said something about them having the right to be there as well.
The drinks had started around early and by the time the table was set everyone was feeling friendly. Joe, the owner of the house was still a little mad.
"If you ladies are going to stay then the game is strip poker. We play poker, when we lose then the wife of the loser gives up a piece of clothing. That's the deal or you ladies have to leave." With that said Joe sat down fully expecting the girls to walk out. It only took about 5 minutes to learn never to underestimate a woman.
The women huddled together and then announced that they were staying and told Joe to deal the cards.
Joe riffled the cards and dealt them with short vicious throws. The hand went as expected. Each player asked for a few new cards and then came the showdown. Rich, a tall thin carpenter, won and Joe, Bill and Rod lost. They announced the results so that the girls could hear and then turned to watch the ladies reaction.
Joe's wife, a red head named Mary stood up, paused for a moment and then kicked her shoes off before sitting back down. Bill and Rod's wives followed suit. It was the ladies who now stared at the men in defiance.
Joe lost the next hand, with a smile on his lips he turned to Mary and said, "The pants, the blouse or the door".
