Man stabbed over alleged Monopoly cheating
By QMI Agency


There is no card in Monopoly that advises a player to stab another.

Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain

But Monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game

And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody

Outside of a small circle of friends.
