 "Drive-Thru Convenience" Gerber by Marti Ronemus

When does a good idea cross over and become an insane one? We all use fast-food drive through (admit it!) and bank. But how about these (and I am not making them up).

Robert Adams Mortuary, CA. Want to pay your respects? Drive thru enables you to "view" the dearly departed and sign the guest book without even parking the car.

Christian Life Center, FL. On your way home from work? Feel the need to pray? There's a drive-thru waiting for you.

Kocian Law Firm, CT. This used to be a fast-food chicken restaurant. Now, you can get legal advice. "Injured clients enjoy the convenience." We bet they do.

So what about bidding convenience? How about using Gerber to ask for Aces!

When our first or last bid has been a natural No-trump, we ask for aces by bidding 4♣. Why not use 4 No-trump? That's a story for another day. Today we are going to look at how to respond when Pard bids 4♣ to find out about our aces. Reminder: 4♦ = all or none, 4♥ = one, 4♠ = 2 aces, and 4 No-trump = three aces. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS BID EXCEPT IN NO-TRUMP AUCTIONS!! Let's try.
