Bob's Bingo Nightmare
Bob runs into the bingo hall and there is no seating left but he spots a seat on the end of a table in the non smoking section so he quickly sits down and is trying to catch up. The pots are big tonight. This game is for 3 lines. He gets set for B 15 and the caller calls B1 and B9 and 5 other numbers and then someone calls bingo. Set for 7 calls.
The next game is for a small blackout and here Bob is with all the G's and all the I's. He only needs N 33 and N 43and there is no N's called yet. Bill calls the first N and it is 43 and now Bob is set again so for sure he will win this one. 33 always comes up after 43 but not tonight. More G's and more I's and N 31 N 34 and about 4 more numbers and then someone calls Bingo. This is just getting to be a bit to much.
Now
it is intermission and Bob is filling out his board bonanzas. The
caller anounces We would like to wish a Happy 97th Birthday to
Aunt Mary who is here with her niece Janice. Bob gets one board
down to 4 and then he does his last one and it only needs 2
numbers to win the big jackpot. There is 45 numbers out on the
board and it goes to 54 so his odds of winning are pretty good.
Intermission is over and now they are playing the odd and even.
Bob needs B12- I28 -G46 and G50, only 4 numbers. Three of his
numbers came up and now at 42 numbers he is set for G46. He is
sitting on the edge of his seat so excited waiting for his number
and Bill calls G56 among 5 other G's and finally at 58 numbers
someone calls bingo. The next game is for 2 lines. Bob got the
first 5 G's that were called and the only B and O that was called
and he is set for the first possible 2 lines. He only needs I 29
for a diagonal line that will give him 2 lines.
He really needs a cigarette so he asks the lady next to him if he
can light one and hold it out as he is right on the end of the
table. Four people spoke all at once. NOT ON YOU LIFE. THIS IS
THE NON SMOKING SECTION.
Bill
calls I30-I28-I27 and then goes on to the 0 row and calls some
more numbers until someone calls bingo. Bob just threw his dabber
in the air and woops it flew right onto the side of Aunt Mary's
head. Aunt Mary was knocked her off her chair and she was on the
floor. Dead silence. The paramedics were called and they took
Aunt Mary to the hospital. The police also arrived and before
they took Bob away he managed to show his bonanza cards to the
lady beside him and asked her to play them for him and he would
split the 10 thousand with her if she won on his cards. She said
she would be happy to do that.. They would see each other the
next night at bingo.The police took Bob away and he had to spend
the rest of the evening at the Police station. Bob goes to bingo
the next night and he notices that the 10 thousand is gone..
Someone won it. He sees the lady that was playing his cards and
she was beaming as he approaches her so Bob is excited too. She
says I won the 10 thousand on my cards but I did get set on one
of your cards. Bob left the Bingo Hall never to return again.
