With the current climate of every business trying to give, sell or otherwise finagle me to get a membership or affinity card, I like to paraphrase Groucho Marx.

I would not join any club that would have me as a memeber.

There was a great lady from the South who worked in accounting where I was. That meant she had to approve all kind of wild expenses people tried to claim (we had a lot of prima donnas).

An acquaintance/friend(?) of mine back at w*rk was somewhat of an anti-capitalist (at least in his own mind). He railed against the company that provided him, his two wives (one at a time) and his six kids with their daily bread and cable TV. His favorite expression was "A man should leave this world with no more than he can carry on his two strong shoulders." I always added "Yep, $3 million in hundred dollar bills."

I heard that Marx was a communist.

I did not know that Groucho Marx was. I do know Karl Marx was. Did Groucho apper before HUAC?

Example:

The only thing that I agree with, that Carl Marx wrote: Religion is the opium of the masses.

Ok, On with my armor and activate force field to repel brickbats.
