Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long
and boring conference calls? Here's a way to change all of that.
How To Play Bullshit Bingo
- Before your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, use my Bullshit Bingo Card Generator or create your own Bullshit Bingo card.
- Prepare yourself by drawing a square. (I find that 5" x 5" is a good size.)
- Divide the card into columns - five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch blocks.
- Write one of the "Bullshit" words/phrases in each block.
- Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.
- When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"
