The story behind this jumper:

Antoon

I most looked forward to the lunch breaks. Then I would settle down in the refectory with a group of card players for Colour Whist. That afternoon, my boss Antoon had joined us. It was one of those days when I felt like taking a lot of risks. Usually I go grandly wrong then, but this time was different.

The more the game progressed, the angrier my fellow players’ looks became. I didn’t quite understand why. Until I dared to ask the question: ‘Am I winning maybe?’ Angrily, my boss Anthoon shouted in front of the entire refectory: ‘Am I winning maybe?!!!!!!????? You are 100 points ahead!!!!!’. “Is that for real?”, I ask in amazement and I have to make every effort in the world to hold back my laughter. But see,

I still got to play many times. What about you? Do you also like taking risks in a card game?
