Well, that's not so funny, but still:

- What's the difference between bridge and Minecraft?
- In the latter, one can always make 1 spade* holding only a single diamond and 2 sticks. In bridge, that's often not enough**.

*Actually, it's called a "shovel" in-game, but it's a near-synonym of "spade".
**Here, "2 sticks" is intended to be interpreted as "11 HCP".

whereas if you tried making 1 spade with a single diamond in bridge, you might expect to go for (2 each) sticks and wheels.

Another story translated from Russian:

A bridge player dies from heart attack (no pun intended) when his redoubled contract went down 4. His partners are visiting his funeral, and there's total silence there. But after some time, one of his opponent finally breaks the silence saying:
- Mike, if you led a diamond that time, it could be much worse for him...

After reading Bridge for Dummies, you should study Bridge for Declarers and then Bridge for Defenders.

From the late, great Rodney Dangerfield:

Two deaf men were watching Bridge Over the River Kwai on closed captioning and one said, "Turn it up", and the other did - and the letters got bigger.

Well, it is bridge humor.
