CT Blue

I’ve always agreed with Grouch Marx about joining clubs. As Groucho said:

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member

This has always seemed like a sound rule of thumb to me, but today I thought I would make an exception, and join the Friends of Charles Darwin.

Why? Well, why not? I fit the bill:

The only requirements are that you must have fully opposable thumbs [and] declare Charlie is my Darwin.

Affirmative on the first requirement, and as to the second, I hereby declare that Charlie is my Darwin.

Moreover, “It’s free, and entitles you to put the letters FCD after your name”. What could be better?

So I decided to abandon my principles and join, only to find that the Friends refused to have me as a member! Apparently, I am that lowest of life forms: Spam. Every time I enter the secret code, designed to catch spam, I’m told I entered the code wrong.

Maybe I failed some evolutionary test.
