Little Johnny was already 6 years old and yet he'd still never spoken a word. His parents were obviously very worried about him, and tried to spend as much time with him as possible. Every Thursday night his father, a well-known and talented poker player would take him to his poker game, and little Johnny would simply sit and watch.
One night his father was particularly having a bad run of luck, and was going on tilt. Toward the end of the evening, he was nearly at the end of his rope when he saw the 2-7 off-suit in his hand, he became furious and splashed the pot to call.
"Daddy, you shouldn't have called that," little Johnny finally said. Astonished, his father dropped his cards, picked him up and said, "Johnny, you're 6 years old and this is the first time you've ever said a word!"
"Well," replied Johnny, "up until now you were playing fine."
