In Canada, they take their bingo games seriously.

[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]They must take the bingo games very seriously.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]A bingo game at a long-term care facility turned into a fight, and it was so bad that police had to be called in, CBC reported.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]It started when one 79-year-old woman took the seat that is usually used by an 86-year old player.[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]The two women started arguing, then the verbal fight turned physical. Then other residents of the nursing home jumped into the fray, according to the CBC. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]Ontario Provincial Police were called in and everyone involved calmed down.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]No one was seriously hurt and no one was charged, the CBC reported. [/FONT][/FONT]

Well people get set in their ways I suppose, and are used to sitting in a certain seat ...but honestly I would be horrified if I was in a physical altercation in my 80's.. how shameful...
 
You never mess with Granny on bingo night.

No, do NOT mess with old ladies and their bingo games.

When my grandmother was living in a ACLF, the ladies played bingo every night after dinner. It was a big deal with every win entered in a note book and tally kept of who was ahead.

They invited me to play with them one night and I, without thinking about the ramifications, won a game. OMG, the furor. Should they start a new column for me in the note book? Should my win be credited to my Grandmother (that didn't go over well with a couple of them)? What to do? What to do? It was finally decided to give me my own column. After that, I just made sure I never won. It was a lot simpler.
 
At the casino, they had a large bingo room. I didn't know "bingo" was a blood sport. First, I opened the door DURING a game. It was deadly quiet in the room. From the looks of the gamers, hanging was too good for me. Two staff came running up to me. Apparently, I needed protection for my terrible indiscretion. I tried to speak, but was immediately hushed up. Finally, the game was over. And I was allowed to leave with my life. Bingo ain't for wimps.
 
Once in awhile, my wife and I go to the senior center to play bingo. Large crowd and big jackpots. I like to watch the older ladies line their stuffed toys on their table. I guess it is their good luck charms. One lady rings a little bell when ever a certain number is call and number B4 everyone yells four. Why, I don’t know. O69 always draws a giggled or two. The problem I have playing there is it takes to long. My back is killing me by the time we leave.
