Bullsh*t Bingo!!! (Insanely AWESOME)
Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long and boring conference calls??? Here's a way to change all that... 1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square... I find that 5"x5" is a good size... Divide the card into columns-five across and five down... That will give you 25 one-inch blocks... 2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases. 4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, you must stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!!!"
