 "Head Scratcher" by Marti Ronemus

I was having dinner with a friend last night and somehow the conversation turned to head lice. (I wish I could reconstruct the conversational path that brought us to that subject, but I can't. Wine, anyone?)

She told me that there are now "Lice Salons" where the whole family can go for a 100% guaranteed treatment to kill them (the lice, not the family). Really? First thing I did when I got home was Google to see if she was teasing me. Nope! This is a REAL THING, oh Faithful Readers. It seems head lice have evolved from a shameful situation suggesting an unclean household to a happy salon event, just like getting that facial or mani-pedi.

So now we know. Thank you, Colleen!

I'm sorry but I can't think of a segue from head lice to bridge, so let's just get on with our quiz.

Question 1

♠ K Q J
♥ A J 9 3

Q: 1 - South?

--1 No-trumpPass
?


 Your choice:
A: 6 No-trump: Honestly, what are you waiting for? The least combined points you can have is 33. The most you have is 35. There's no point using Stayman, as you have no shortness, and Pard is flat.

Your result so far:

**Michaels Cuebid promising at least 5-5 in the majors

 Your choice:
A: 2♠: We are not happy campers. We need an appointment to "the salon" for this. It is going to be a hot mess. We can't pass, and at least we have a nine-card Spade fit. Sadly, we will have to play this.
