Jack Handy's Deep Thoughts 1: Playing Poker on the Moon

wouldn't be as fun. Gravity there is only 1/6 that of Earth, so chips wouldn't "splash" with the same sound or intensity - they would more likely "float" down and bounce around a little more before landing in the pot.

So playing poker on the moon would be COOL, but the sound of chips hitting the pot wouldn't.

Hate to be a stick in the mud.... But the chips hitting the pot would make no sound at all.

No sound because you think that at 1/6 gravity there will be no sound, or no sound because will be wearing a SPACE HELMET?

Within a few thousand years (maybe less) we humans are going to overpopulate the planet and will have to live elsewhere, so our grandkids etc. will have to find ways for us to live on the Moon or someone else. And I ASSUME that playing poker will still be a hobby. They'll have to figure out how to get past the spacegloves issue too.
