Another hand from the South west pacific teams. i post this more for amusement value than anything else. Two of these guys played for Australia of these From today's Bulletin:

"The Twilight Zone Report
Today, as we head back into the Twilight Zone, the bridge of the Starship Insanity is in the hands of Captain George Gaspar with first mate, Bobby Richman, on hand. To direct their steps who better than their faithful native guides, (native to the TZ, that is) Siggy Konig and Jimmy Wallis.
You may recognise the hand as following hard on the heels of that on which we watched the experts bid their grands a couple of pages back. You will note that DeepFinesse has another grand available to North/South here.
But remember, we are in the Twilight Zone.

Bobby steered the starship with a 1H opener – which showed spades. (Of course, it did!)
Jimmy bid 1S - a takeout double (of course it was). George headed for the stars with 3S and, deep in the TZ, Siggy passed.
And so did everybody else!
It does not rank as one of bridge’s more memorable moments when you trade 1510 for 7H in exchange for 350 defending an opposition partial.
I suspect the Indians got a better deal when they traded Manhattan Island to the Dutch."

Serves him right for showing a takeout double when he had a 2♥ overcall. I wonder what a double of 1♥ would have meant.
