Quotes by David Parlett (?)

“I will not attempt to describe Gin-Rummy in detail as you can call up any insane asylum and get any patient on the ’phone and learn all about it in no time, as all lunatics are bound to be Gin players, and in fact the chances are it is Gin-Rummy that makes them lunatics. Damon Runyon, The Lacework Kid”
― David Parlett, The Penguin Book of Card Games: Everything You Need to Know to Play Over 250 Games
