Ha -- similar story
I had a dear friend who has since passed away. He was one of Bob Hope's comedy writers, so naturally, he had a fantastic sense of humor.
We were playing at the Maxim double-deck game, and it was a very muggy day (by Vegas standards), and the cards were sticking together. So, my friends picks up his hand and he has three cards. What's more, they total 24! Without missing a beat, he throws them on the table and says to the dealer, "I've had some bad luck in my day, but that's the first time I've ever busted without drawing a card!!" :-)
