The obvious is most often the inobvious

Tonight, I managed to:

Find an effective treatment for adult ADD,
Find an effective way to teach dyslexics to cope with their condition,
Explain senior-citizen wrist and hand arthritis,
and get Brain-Sodomized by a relatively simple task-

All in a 4-hour sitting.

Bingo. No, not the expression of discovering something or completing a task correctly, the act of gambling that most refer to as a game. I got invited by the in-laws- so I went. Little did I know that it's bingo tradition to be working 24 "cards" at the same time. The real "game" seems to be attempting to mark all the numbers on your 24 cards while the numbers are being read off at auctioneer pace.

Of course this makes the ADD learn to focus, it makes the dyslexic realize that the numbers may not be what they seem, the 'dabber' marker exercises the wrist in an exceedingly repeatitive manner, and looking down on a whole bunch of numbers and round marker dots trying to figure out if you have a "Six-pack (corners only!)" or a "Crazy Kite" leaves even the most organized mind lost in translation. . . It also puts you three numbers behind, due to the 4 nanoseconds you spent actually looking at your cards.

Once enough people have succeeded in creating a myrid of obscurely-named shapes in their cards, you get a thirty-second break to peel off the top layer of cards, revealing the next layer of an equal amount, printed on a different color paper. You do this six times with breaks of "Speedball" and "Bonanza" in between the full sheets. Due to the graphic nature of these games I will not describe them, and in fact, I will Never mention them again.
