B-I-N-G-NO!



I found the following gem in today'sBlotter:

Threats reported
JOLIET — Women from a West Side independent-living apartment complex threatened the daughter of another resident when she tried to make waves at their bingo game, police said.
The daughter told police she was visiting her mother at Marycrest Village apartments Saturday and asked the caller of a bingo game if 'they had a license to play,' police said.
The woman visited her mother at the 2115 Marmion Ave. apartments again Monday, police said, and a woman in her 60s pointed at her and said, 'You're going to be sorry for what you did ... '
Another woman around the same age then reportedly told the daughter, 'It's not over yet.'"


I can't believe that someone would feel so threatened by Bingo players that she'd call the police. Then again, maybe she's just smart enough to realize that if there's one thing you don't mess with, it's a senior citizen and her bingo. I'm just picturing this woman waking up with a bingo cage over her head or a face full of purple marks from those stamper things they use to mark their cards. Or worse yet, she could be ostracized by residents of the complex who would pelt her with Bingo balls as she walked by. Just imagine: "O-54? Here's your O-54, beeyotch!"
