While he was in Hong Kong he developed a gambling addiction to the game
Mahjong.  He ended up playing it a lot and the people next door to him in
the hotel complained.  The goal of Mahjong is to et certain hands to win.
There is one hand, 13 pieces, which is very hard to get and HE GOT IT!!!
He ran down the hall way screaming with excitement.  He got this hand
