I just got this email after I applied for the Arizona Pipe club to be admitted:

Thank you for your application to join United Pipe Clubs of America.

This message confirms that we have received your application and will be reviewing it. A membership coordinator will contact you to discuss your application and to invite you to attend an upcoming meeting.

When the Board of Directors reviews your application,

you will be notified of the outcome.

When they inevitably execute due diligence and find out that I frolic in the patch, I suspect we will be blackballed.

looks to me just a buncha elitists, uppity management types etc. I think of an old Grocho quote (or maybe somebody similar).

I am curious to know/understand, what are you basing your observation/comment on?

Just Ed's brand of humor. No harm intended.
