Calling out "bingo" when you don't have one can get you in trouble in northern Kentucky.

Ask Austin Whaley.

The 18-year-old man was recently sentenced to refrain from saying "bingo" for six months. That's because he and several other teens did that at a Covington bingo hall. An off-duty police officer working security cited Whaley for second-degree disorderly conduct.

But what if he DOES have a BINGO during that time???

There was a farmer had a dog and BINGO was his name o

He committed an assault on the upper intellectual echelon of the Kentucky citizenry, the bingo players.

And they are letting him off easy.

Back in the day, they would have locked him up for life, hanged him from a tree or cut out his tongue.

Law is getting soft in his Old Kentucky Home.

And don’t think of the color yellow or the number 2.

It was a prank at a BINGO hall.

Considering how seriously those old ladies take their Bingo, he’s lucky to be alive.

During his 20 years on the High Bench, the gregarious, poker-playing, opera-loving, former University of Chicago law professor has emerged as the Court's most outspoken, high-profile, and personally colorful member. He relishes the cut and thrust of debate, and has institutionalized the practice of hiring, and then carefully listening to, a "counter-clerk" with liberal views at odds with his own and those of his other three clerks. With a distinctive style of questioning that is by turns testy, confrontational, and provocative, he asks questions during oral argument that are demanding yet laced with impish humor.

On one occasion, he told a flustered attorney frantically searching his brief for information, "Just shout 'Bingo' when you find it." His opinions are carefully wrought, powerfully argued, and filled with well-turned phrases.

Two examples may suffice here: "[N]o government official is 'tempted' to place restraints upon his own freedom of action, which is why Lord Acton did not say 'Power tends to purify.'" And asking states that bar the death penalty about its constitutionality is "rather like including old-order Amishmen in a consumer-preference poll on the electric car. Of course they don't like it, but that sheds no light whatever on the point at issue."

Why did you have to do that? Now all I can think about is the color 2 and the number yellow!
