Playing Card Decks With 51 Cards : Not a Full Deck, Stupid!

Fun facts you probably didn't know and probably don't care about,

Common entertainment included playing cards. However, there was a tax levied

when purchasing playing cards but only applicable to the 'Ace of Spades.' To

most games require 52 cards, these people were thought to be stupid or dumb

because they weren't 'playing with a full deck.'
