Another Planet

The parachute opened, and when Kadizzle hit the ground it was on another planet.  Patty took Kadizzle to the VFW to play bingo.  It was a land where people wore Trump Hats in public.  It was a place where many were dressed in motorcycle outfits with the gang name on the back.  Everyone was of the Vietnam vintage.  Everyone was happy, nice and friendly, but the feeling that these people were the ones who fished in the swamp was overwhelming.  On the way to Bingo Patty picked up a friend who feared the government, and seemed about as paranoid as the bingo crowd. 

Before long the numbers began to be called out.  Kadizzle had never been to a real bingo game before.  On certain numbers the is a chant.  Number 22 means a few old ladies go "toot toot".  B9 has someone say " It's not B".  54 requires someone to say " Car 54" .  You get a lot of insight into how the mind of Trump voters work.  Then B4 gets called and the caller says " B4 you leave be sure to tip the bartender.

Now the strangest thing happened.  Sister Patty won the first game for 38 dollars.  We were all sitting at a little round table with just the three of us.  Next our companion Petula Paranoid won,  and then some guy named Old Fart won.  Old Fart actually had that imprinted on his hat, a far better choice than the two Trump hats seen earlier.  Next round Kadizzle won 40 dollars.  The people in the hall were amazed that the first three winners were at this one little table.  We feared we would be asked to leave.  We had accumulated very quickly over one hundred dollars.  The cash more than covered our drinks and the chicken dinner. 

Kadizzle never spent time in one of these wardens, but it is kind of sad.  Here is where all the people are piled up that were shot up and lived from the silly wars of the past.  You quickly notice that those who were used for fodder are the ordinary people, the truck drivers, the welders, and the poor kids whose dad could not get them out of service for bone spurs.   Now while Bone Spurs ruins the country these guys ride their motorcycles and shout out chants at the bingo hall.
