David Bruce, Life Master #1, was on lead against a grand slam in a
suit contract holding two aces and he knew the dummy had to be void in
one of those suits. The dummy was Ozzie Jacoby, who always left the
table the moment a card was led. David Bruce decided to lead his gum
wrapper. When Jacoby saw something hit the table he put his dummy down
and David Bruce saw which ace would cash. :-)
This one below is also from Kantar's website:-)
Hearts are trump and West, on opening lead, leads a low diamond. East,
holding no diamonds, plays a spade thinking spades are trump. Later
when West gets in again, he leads another diamond and this time East
trumps with a heart. West says: "No spades, partner?"
