A doctor is called out for an emergency from a bridge tournament, With still the last board to play. They ask a kibitzer to take his place, although he knows nothing about the game. They tell him "Just bid what

This is the deal

"I was told to bid what I’ve got, and I have one club, two spades, 3 hearts and 7 diamonds!"
