Bullshit Bingo!

Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long and boring conference calls? Here is a way to change all of that!



How to play:

Before each meeting, visit http://www.perkigoth.com/home/kermit/stuff/bullshitbingo/ and print one copy of this game card for each player, refreshing the page before each print, or have the players print their own game cards.

Check off each block when you hear these words during a meeting, seminar, or phone call. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout BULLSHIT!!
