Clubs

You know how easy it is to form a Club?  Get two people together with similar interests and meet once in a while.  Some clubs collect dues, some ask you to wear similar clothes. Some are exclusive, some are public.

When I was in high school and college, clubs were very popular. Drama club. Debate club. Math club. Chess club. Pep Club. Basically, clubs were an excuse to socialize.

We've all heard of the Rotary Club, Toastmasters Club and the Boys and Girls Club.  And the much bragged about Mile High Club.Strip Clubs have been around for a long time. The Optimist club probably a lot longer. We have all heard of Sam's Club and the once popular Price Club. Then came the Breakfast Club.  The Second Wives Club.  Your everyday Book Club. The Hair Club. The Shave Club. Health Club. And of course, who hasn't been to a Night Club.

Nowadays, I think successful clubs serve a different purpose.  They not only bring people together, they are formed by marketing experts to celebrate a common cause or make a statement.

That got me thinking.

I’ve looked around and searched tiredlessly and have been unable to find any indication that the following clubs ever existed:

Zit club.  Members with blemishes and acne who never meet because nobody really wants to be a member.

Suicide club. Where the members are a dying breed.

Diarrhea club.  Where membership is really a 'load of crap.”

Tweeters club.  No longer seeking members because can compete with Donald Trump?

Stroke club.  For members who have had a cardiovascular event but have never taken tennis lessons.

Dumb club.  For members who have watched the movie Dumb and Dumber more than once.

Hemorrhoid club.  For members who have been the butt of someone else’s joke.

Joke Club.  For members who continually laugh at each other.

Elevator Club.  With just a little push, members can experience life's ups and downs like everyone else.

Ventriloquest Club:  A club which, well, it speaks for itself!

Owie Club. A club where a little hurt never hurt anyone.

Shark Club:  A club for surfers that can end up costing you an arm and a leg.

Tomorrow Club.  Where members can join day after day.


We all should form or join at least one club in our lifetime. And I know of a perfect place to have your first meeting:  The Country Club.
