Shuffling Wet Cards


A few weeks ago, I watched The Navigator starring Buster Keaton.  It was an okay silent film comedy, but there was one scene that stuck with me for days.  It was only about a minute long, if that, in which Keaton pulls a soaking wet deck of cards (he just came in from a rain storm) out of his pocket and begins shuffling them.  As you can imagine, this doesn't work too well, but the great thing about the scene is that he just keeps shuffling them anyway, just shuffling wet cards.
