    That WOULD piss off some dedicated senior bingo players in a hurry.
    Once, during my high school Home Ec class, the old bitty teacher was reading the answers, rapid-fire style, to a test that we had taken about nutrition and when she got to the section on vitamins she said, "B-12, B-1, B-2--" And the school mascot (a nerdy, chunky kid who was both popular and unpopular simultaneously), threw his hand in the air and yelled, 'BINGO!!" This prompted a laughing fit from me that lasted too long.....and, sadly, I was the ONLY one in the entire class who laughed! :( The teacher was pissed. (So I guess the moral of the story is it's never a good idea to yell "bingo!" in front of old people...even if you're not playing bingo... and probably even if you are playing bingo and you really do have a winning card. --I've experienced that wrath as well.-- They just don't like it.)

        Can you believe it?? I couldn't! The kid who said it was tickled to death that I thought his outburst was hilarious. We had a bonding moment of sorts. I had a different Home Ec teacher in Jr. High... her name was, and I kid you not, Miss Fitz. lol She was so boring (and young)....how can you have a name like that and be a rock?

      That's hilarious! I would most definitely have cracked up! Getting your knickers in a twist over something so trivial shows a clear picture of a small mind. I was thinking "You sank my battleship!", as well when I read that.

        For a second there I thought you meant pictures to go along with MY story. I was thinking....yeah..good luck finding pictures, I don't think there were any camera's present, but heck, if you find any I'd like to see them too. (duh)

    sadly there are few pictures and no videos. Also this happened in KY not OH. do you think that makes the ruling more relevant? and, did the judge have a sense of humor when he pronounced judgement? that is an interesting question
