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

1. Before your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, use my Bullshit Bingo Card Generator or create your own Bullshit Bingo card.
   
   
   1. Prepare yourself by drawing a square. (I find that 5" x 5" is a good size.)
   2. Divide the card into columns - five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch blocks.
   3. Write one of the "Bullshit" words/phrases in each block.
2. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.
   
   
3. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"
