Re: Re:OT:ALCOHOL AT IRIS FUNCTIONS
Dear Bill and all,
What a sad and tawdry affair to have happened, but I couldn't help but
chuckle when reading it. Who needs to make up stuff for comedy acts when
life itself (and the people in it) present such whimsical drama?
Did someone in the club forget to pass along a chain letter they may have
received that week?
