Quote by Steven Wright

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards.

Summary

This quote creatively combines two distinct card games: poker and Tarot cards. It humorously suggests that the outcome of the game was so unexpectedly victorious that it had supernatural or fatal consequences. The line mocks the notion of fate and fortune by exaggerating the events that unfolded during the game. Ultimately, it serves as a lighthearted statement about the unpredictability and excitement associated with gambling and the element of chance that can sometimes bring surprising outcomes.
