Last night while visiting my great-aunt at the nursing home (and I swear it was Vinnie Testaverde getting a pass to leave the institution) I was coerced into playing BINGO with the old folks. Now, this is a no win situation, but for the sake of auntie I agreed. If I win it's just a paltry sum of pennies, plus I run the risk of being heckled and abused by angry seniors. Well, as luck would have it I'm sitting with the near full card at the end of the night just waiting to get this over with and leave for home. Only needed one more spot to fill the card. And then it happened....the caller called out B-3. As I yelled out BINGO I could hear gasps, moans, cussing, and I swear the sounds of orderlies running to revive those that succumbed to the cardiac pressure. What happened next was undescribable and certainly unforgivable. The newbie "youngster" had no right to take the prize. I was run into by grandpas in wheelchairs, had my toes crushed by a 300 pound resident with her walker, and poked and prodded in "different" places by various canes. One old buzzard took a full swing at me but I threw my wife in front of me just in time.
So today while I'm full awake and rehashing this nightmare incident I'm walking out to get the paper and a bee stings me on the arm :cursin: When I got back into the house and cursed the unfortunate incidents in the past 24 hours it hits me. The "SIGNS" B-3 in BINGO....a bee stinging me......ahhhhhh.....take the B...ears-3.....or is it for the B..roncos-3....or the B..engals-3...or the B..ills-3!!!!! Shoot, I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. Give me all of 'em Alex :mj07:
adding to earlier card
Bears -3
Bills -3
Broncos -3
Bengals -3
Will I take a B..ig hit by playing these public favs. Probably......But it's better than getting hit by that cane. I love my wife :mj14:
