Discussion: Good Ol' Boys

I don't know. I don't think the boys down at the Elks Club would have minded if you had stripped down to your skivvies, do you? As long as you explained that you were just measuring your G.

I don't have any idea what the boys down at the Elks Club might have thought, because yesterday was the first time I'd ever been in an Elks Club, and that was only because they actually owned the golf course. And when I went in to wash up after the round, there was the scale. I can't imagine why. My imagination would say that the average Elk is of substantial girth and the last thing they would want to see is a scale, but maybe they are all on slimming programs.

I must admit that I did pass myself off as a visiting Elk from Massachusetts in order to get a substantial break on the fee. I was afraid I might have to demonstrate the secret Elk handshake or mating call or whatever else they do to show their Elkness, but fortunately they just took my word for it.

Impersonating an Elk?

Impersonating an Elk?

Yup. You sound concerned. Are you an Elk?

They didn't require you to drink a dram of aquavit, eradicate 10m2 of kudzu, or else seduce a campaign worker from the Romney campaign? You got off easy.
