	Call My Bluff - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Call My Bluff is a British game show between two teams of three contestants.
		The point of the game is for the teams to take it in turn to provide three definitions of an obscure word, only one of which was correct.
		The other team then has to guess which is the correct definition, the other two being "bluffs".

	Call the Indian bluff now
		Although the ceasefire was called off equally unilaterally within ten days, the Americans and Western powers as a whole believe the scope for another ceasefire and negotiations is there.
		A wiser strategy for Pakistan may be to call the Indian bluff on talks on Kashmir, strive to reduce the violence on Kashmir and make as many parties as possible to agree to a ceasefire in Kashmir.
		But India’s bluff should be called now and the only way to do that is to agree to an early and effective ceasefire and purposeful negotiations.

		My fellow participants greeted one another in the green room as if their lives were just the boring bits between one series of Bluff and the next.
		Fiona Bruce revealed that Peter Sissons sometimes calls her "Fifi", Whitfield launched into a mesmerising riff about bottoms, and that wag Charles Collingwood from The Archers made a remark that probably means my first outing on the programme will also be my last.
		"Rosie, my dear," he said drily, "I have noticed that when you are lying you turn a rather fetching colour of pink." Which, for a game based wholly on fibs, is a bit of a problem.

	Let's Call the Bankers' Bluff
		Firstly, when you are forced into a poker game — when someone bluffs you — the proper way to proceed is not to complain about the bluff or to pronounce opposition to its motive.
		Secondly, when a hypocrite, such as a banker or liberal politician, issues a baseless bluff, the proper way to proceed is to voice agreement with him by providing him with precisely what he says he wants.
		It is by foisting their faithless bluff on everyone else, that they foist it on themselves.

	Seoul Should Call Pyongyang's Bluff (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Meanwhile, senior officials from all five of North Korea's interlocutors have called on Pyongyang to agree to another round of talks, even as many profess to see little prospect of success prior to the November US presidential elections.
		Seoul has been disappointingly quiet in the face of the North's allegations - as it regrettably normally is - merely dismissing the charges and calling on the North to resume negotiations.
		A more appropriate approach would be to challenge Pyongyang to follow Seoul's example and invite the IAEA to investigate both sides' alleged transgressions, perhaps with representatives from both North and South accompanying each inspection effort.
