...amused by blue-haired women cheating at BINGO.

Seriously!? I actually saw two geriatric women escorted off the premises of my local VFW for cheating at BINGO. I didn't even know that was possible. I know you might be wondering why a 28-year-old attends BINGO on a semi-regular basis, but all I can say is it's fun. My friend Margot invited me to come out with her Mom and some friends, and I enjoyed it so much I kept going back. I've only BINGO'd once (and for $16 at that), but I enjoy people watching. You get a completely unique crowd at the VFW - as demonstrated by the title of this post. I've seen several mother/daughter, husband/wife, and various friend duos of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds.
So back to my original point. How did these women cheat at this incredibly random game? By visiting their local Kinkos. I guess if you live on the fixed income provided by social security it makes logical sense to print out your own BINGO cards instead of paying the $17 to support your local Veterans of Foreign Wars. Economic crisis made manifest or gambling addicts? You decide.
