>		 Barbara wanted to play "dealer's choice". Therefore, this game was played under protest by both Kevin and Al. Kevin
discarded two jokers to Al who ultimately went out on the last hand. This move prompted Barbara to protest the game.
This means that all three players in the game were playing it under protest. However, Kevin wants to rescind his protest
due to his victory. And Al wants to protest Kevin's rescinding. All protests are duly noted!
Ralph
Mike		 Never say never.
Never?

Kevin I don't even have any kind of formation.
