Little Gene had become a real nuisance while his father was trying to concentrate on his Saturday afternoon poker game with friends and relatives. The father tried every way possible to get Gene to occupy himself television, ice cream, homework, video games but the youngster insisted on running back and forth behind the players and calling out the cards they held. The other players became so annoyed that they threatened to quit the game and all go home. At this point, the boy's uncle stood up, took Gene by the hand, and led him out of the room. The uncle soon returned back to the poker table without Gene and without comment, and the game resumed. After the poker game ended with Gene still out of sight the father asked the uncle, "What in the world did you do to Gene?" "Not much," the uncle replied. "I just showed him how to masturbate."
