Funny bingo experience

Hello everybody! I have not had a chance to play bingo too much lately with a work schedule that's been crazy but I got my bingo fix the other day and of all places the hospital  :/(

My mom was in the hospital recovering from gall bladder surgery and thumbing thru the hospitality booklet they had bingo night for the patients.

There was 4 bingo cards in the booklet and we had to tune in to the hospital  tv at 7 PM and play. The bingo caller was a young gal who was a goof ball  LOL.

She had the old fashioned cage she turned the balls in and kept dropping them out of the cage onto to floor and then would pick them up and drop them again  LOL. When ever she felt like it she would pick up a number off the floor and would call it as the next number.

The funniest part was when she called the "O" she made a mistake and said "zero 72"  LOL. When a patient won they had to dial the extension to her phone and she would verify the bingo. To congratulate the winner she had a noise maker that you would see at a kids birthday party twirling the thing up in the air.

She was a riot and was so unprofessionally played that we had a good chuckle. If I didn't know better I would think she was sipping brandy and was half in the bag  LOL

This kind of unconventional bingo in a diehard bingo crowd wouldn't fly but it all somehow added to the fun.

And who says hospitals are no fun. From what you've described that's a bingo game I would love to be a part of better yet, it sounds like one I would host myself! LOL

They had that when i was in the hospital for a shoulder injury. My ex was all over it. I think she came not to see me but to play bingo lol

That is too cute! I never knew they had bingo at hospitals but it is a very cool idea. Hope your mom is doing well and you never did tell us if you won or not! And what was the prize?

Thats a totally cool way to spend a hospital time. I wonder, when will someone in serbian hospitals come up with idea like that. Being in a hospital could be quite stressful, what better way to iron out the stress than a bit of bingo :D

LOL What a great way to spend some time in a hospital - definitely one of the best ways to tame stress.

It is a great way to lift up the spirit a little bit! And Bingo was always about having fun, for some even more important than winning...

Wow, that's pretty cool. Great way to pass the time!

Geez... I probably would have flipped out! Glad to hear that nobody got too upset. Yup, drunken Bingo callers... always makes for a good night!
