It had three rules: 1. Members shall be celibate, at least during meetings of the society. 2. Meetings of the society should always be held on licensed premises. 3. Members of the society shall pray for each other on the 20th day of the month, when the appointed Psalm contains the verse "and the wild asses quench their thirst." <em>The Pistol fires back: Sounds like some helpful rules.

I really want to sign up for Workshop #1; that whole WASP thing is gonna be hard for me to pull off though. Would being told that I "talk white" count in any way? I've got the part down as for boosting my own self image in comparison to others less fortunate though, as well as the check-writing bit (I haven't been to jail in 6 months since missing my last child support check). Would you consider a hybrid of Workshop #1 and Workshop #2? Call it Workshop 1.2 1/2 if you will. Workshop #3 may be a long time coming however, I can barely recall where I leave my car keys let alone committing to memory Jesse Jackson, I mean committing to memory anything that Jesse Jackson says, period. Workshop #4 ??? I don't understand what you are saying. To conclude, I would like to include, that it is most rude, if you exclude... <em>The Pistol fires back: First, we certainly accept non-WASPs as long as you sufficiently demonstrate that you are indeed an oppressor. You have "talking white" in your favor. Some might say you are trying to deny your cultural heritage and become one with your oppressor. You might need more work than you think. Next, we are always open to course suggestions. We are so open, in fact, we never close. We never really come to any decisions for fear of excluding viable options. Finally, you've got sort of a Jesse Jackson thing going there at the end. There may be hope for you after all.</em> Darn!!
