I've been invited to join the Kiwanis. Should I?

I was informally invited to join the Masons .... when I was 23. The guy who asked me if I was interested, a 75-year-old dude I worked with at Home Depot, told me that drinking isn't allowed in Mason lodges, which made me wonder why anybody would join.

 

It's actually the Loyal Order of Water Buffalo.

 

I once lived in an apartment directly behind the Sons of Norway.

Norwegians are inordinately concerned with parking spaces.

 

Actually, you're both correct. At various times it was The Loyal Order of Dinosaurs, The Loyal Brotherhood of Water Buffalos, The Loyal Order of Water Buffalos and The Royal Order of Water Buffalos.



ack, acka dak. dak, daka, ack.

 

I say join. Why not?

On a semi-related note, if anyone here's a Freemason and would like to invite me, please do. I find the organization fascinating on many levels, but the whole secrecy and "we'll choose you" things make it a hard group to join.

 

Go get a job at Home Depot.

 

So the schemers behind the New World Order work at Home Depot?
Takes some of the luser off that conspiracy.

 

A Mason won't ask you to join. You have to seek admission. To be one, ask one.

 

Outing alert: Jay Farrar is Fred "The Dorf" Dorfman.

 

Ask yourself: Would you belong to a group that would have you as a member?

 

Awesome.
