Running Joke Becomes Merchandise?

Carrie and I play a series of three hands of rummy most days. We've played so often that we've seen some highly unlikely probabilities play out.

It's become something of a running joke that the deck does crazy things.

"I hate when the deck predicts the future," is my code when I discard a card and the immediately draw something it would've linked with the next turn.....so I can't discard it and the card it would've worked with is already down!

"The deck hates me" and "The deck giveth and the deck taketh" are all parts of the vernacular. 

Once, I lost a game against Shane where he flashed his whole hand. I had perfect information and figured I'd teach him a quick lesson. But then I watched as he drew the exact card he needed each and every turn. My lesson became a rapid defeat!

At some point, I coined a phrase. Carrie laughed and she designed a shirt.


I wouldn't be surprised if she's already designing a whole line.
