Senior Bingo

Foxnews.com has a story about a group of elderly ladies who have played bingo for several years at a cafeteria in their local mall. They played for prizes such as tea towel sets, costume jewelry or candles. The local police chief shut the games down this week for violating state gambling laws, and offered this justification...

"Yeah, this is nickel-and-dime stuff, but no matter how small it is, I had to do something. I can't give someone permission to break the law."

The chief said he expects to receive complaints about the move. Let's hope there's some outrage too that the chief can't find something better to do with his time.
