BINGO - Have you ever had the Bingo Police come after you? Well, here in North Carolina it is evidently very bad to use different colors of daubers....... I am here visiting Melissa, Chris and Aidden and Melissa, Dawn (Jerry's wife) and I went to Bingo. When I play Bingo I like to use different daubers and make my bingo cards as colorful as i can, not just 2 differenet colors, sometimes 3 and 4. Melissa kept telling me that was not allowed there, I laughed..... You mean anyone would actually care if you used both blue and yellow on the same bingo card......seriously now....so I kept on using the three different colors - yellow, purple and OMG Blue! So, here I am in the middle of a coverall and some lady comes up to me and says "no, no, no, you can't do that", I thought Melissa or Dawn put her up to it and laughed, she said "If you win, we won't pay you...." I laughed again and asked her if we were on "America's Funniest Home Video's" or "Candid Camera" she says no its in the rules......OK - why in the heck would anyone care if you used more than one color, she says - well, if you bingo then someone else has to verify it - ok - makes sense for about 2 seconds cause they don't verify cards anymore, they just read off the printed black number at the bottom of the bingo card.....Seriously now, I have played Bingo in many different states....this is a first. The BINGO Police are alive and well in North Carolina - and I thought Louisiana was a little backwards........Do you think they allow different color of daubers in France????
