Joker
The last two weeks have seen the trifecta monday post describing an after dinner ecstasy, involving a deck of cards. Trifecta works in units of three. One more post is required. The trilogy troll will not triumph. Curley and Larry will find Moe.
The cards marked jokeroker were removed from the deck before the event. This deck had two jokers. One joker had a note. Guarantee If there is any defect in this pack we shall be glad to replace it. Return it unused to The United States Playing Card Company Cincinnati, Ohio 45212
The jokers had a drawing of an unsmiling king. He was riding a bicycle, with six spades on his shoulders. The king was riding by a stone, with the number 808 engraved. 808 is the telephone area code for Hawaii, and is a police code for disturbing the peace. One of the first synthetic drum machines is the Roland TR-808. These three digits are formed by sandwiching a zero between two manifestations of two cubed. The eight is also the infinity sign, stood on one side.
Poker rhymes with joker, but the game doesn’t use it. The fool of the tarot deck is said to be the inspiration for the joker. If so, then this is the only representative of the major arcana in standard playing cards. The character in the Batman shows is probably not inspired by the playing card.

Superbly presented again, well done.
I love the 1960’s Batman show.
You always find such interesting photos.
Thank you. The pictures find me.
Scarecrow is my favorite Batman villain.
This is so intriguing.
Great piece, great photos and I loved the stream of consciousness style jumps from one topic to the next.
The world is safer. You have met the trillogy troll and conquered. Good read and even better pictures.
I love the the photos. Mad Men has nothing on you. The writing is very entertaining.
