Demolay builds character in young men, but do they call it Demolay the character-building organization? Demolay builds lifelong friendship, but do they call it Demolay the friendship organization?

Hey, be sure to let me know about something that’s important to you, so I can be sure to shit all over it, too. Making a joke is one thing, but completely deconstructing it is bizarre. ---

Have you read anything else on this board or only this thread? B/c not only can the SDMB be a jerk-fest w/ extra jerk, but this forum is the BBQ Pit; there is much flaming of introduced topics. ---
