Here's a very old story about
playing cards and taxes. Common
entertainment in the eighteenth-century included playing cards. However,
there was a tax levied when purchasing playing cards but only applicable to
the "Ace of Spades." To avoid paying the tax, people would
purchase 51 cards instead. Yet,
since most games require 52 cards, these people were thought to be stupid or
dumb because they weren't "playing with a full deck!” |
