Spider solitaire

Somebody asked me once, they really did, how to win at spider. And I told them, you roll up a newspaper and you beat holy hell out of it. Then I realized that they were asking about the solitaire game.

As to that, uh, well, you play cards of the same suit on each other in numerical order, then you play cards of opposing suits on each other in numerical order until you can cross match them into tiers of the same suits and eventually you win.

But beating holy hell out of the cards with a rolled up newspaper works too. It works off the frustration.
