Just play the card

Classic Peanuts today (oddly, not the same on that's on line in the Post) had this first panel, setting up a fairly unfunny joke (kid thinks: "I wish I knew what he was thinking." Snoopy thinks: "That last card I ate tasted terrible.")


The thing is, Rerun (I think that's Rerun), you can't take them both no matter what you do. So if it matters that you take both, you can't. You've lost whatever happens. He's got the ace. If you play king and he plays jack, you'll still lose your queen. So you'll lose one or both, but you can't take both. You can only take one, so stop worrying about and do it. Either you'll win or you'll lose, but at this point, you can sit there all day and not manage to win.
