Police arrested an 82-year-old man for slashing a woman's tires because he claims she was sitting in his favorite bingo seat.

Fred Smith was charged with criminal mischief to a vehicle last week when, police say, he took an ice pick to Ethel Britt's van....

Police say Smith stormed out of a weekly bingo game at the Lake Ashton Club House and punctured two of Britt's tires because she was sitting in a chair he usually sits in.

"I didn't know it meant that much to him to do that to my tires," Britt continued.

3. it's a stand your ground thing.

that and you never know when you're going to need a block of ice cause it's hot down here right now.

jeez, you got a totally different attitude about 82 year olds. Down here they're just getting started on their second chance at a honeymoon what with viagra and all that.

Maybe he thought bingo was a good place to meet women?

2. Some people take their bingo seriously.

I volunteered with an organization that took elderly people to bingo some time ago. The women especially were seriously into it. The places where they sat were sacrosanct. They came with all manner of highlighters and other gear. It was serious business.
