(1): Let's not incite them with a pre-empt... I hate pre-empts
(2): Don't have it (pass! pass! pass! Damn, where's telepathy when you need it?)
(3): Best-hand-at-the-table syndrome...
(4): (I wish I had pre-empted...)

the Queen(!), you ruff the club Ace(!) continuation (while the person on your
right gags...) Plan the play to take advantage of their goof (scoring IMPS).
