A bridge too far

I'll pass . . . 

Daisy, an au-pair, is looking for a new family to work for, so when her friend shows her an ad in the Jewish Chronicle for someone to look after a family of four, she immediately applies for the position. During her interview, Rachel, the lady of the house asks her, "So Daisy, tell me, why did you leave your last position?" 
"Well, madam," replies Daisy, "I can’t complain about the money, I got a fair wage. I left because there were weird things going on there." 
"What do you mean by that, Daisy?" asks Rachel. 
"Well madam," replies Daisy, "one night a lot of folk were at the house to play a game called Bridge. They asked me to help out serving the drinks. Just as I was about to enter the lounge with my tray, I heard a man say, ‘lay down and let me see what you’ve got.’  So I didn’t enter. How could I? 
Then I heard another man say, ‘I’ve got strength but no length.’  And then, when I heard a third man say to a lady, ‘take your hand off my trick,’ I was shocked to hear the lady reply, ‘you forced me, you jumped me twice when you didn’t have the strength for one raise.’ 
Then I heard one lady talking about protecting her honour, and soon after that I heard another lady say, ‘Now it’s time for me to play with your husband and you can play with mine.’ 
Finally, when I heard one of the men say, ‘I think we’ll go home now, this is my last rubber,’ I decided then and there to leave. So I put on my hat and coat and walked out, never to return."
