The Shriners

I just fielded a telemarketing call here at work from the Shriners. The Shriners - aren't they the ones who ride those little, teeny motorbikes in parades? And do the figure eights? And wear those weird hats (fezzes, I think they are called) with the tassels on the top?

Yeah. Those guys creep me right the hell out. I mean, why the teeny motorbikes? Do the clowns ride them in the Shrine Circus? Are they supposed to be funny, like ha-ha funny? The sight of grown men squatting over teeny, tiny motorbikes is somehow disturbing to me. I mean, why? What's the point?

I know they are a charity, and I'm sure they do lots and lots of good work, but seriously? Ewww.
