My dad was very active in Elks. They do a lot of philanthropy in our hometown with at least a few events each week. It’s also very social with formal traditions around the fraternity aspect.

So then they are all like that? You obviously lack critical thinking skills. The Elks do more to help people than anything you’ve done.

Being horny as well as aged, they asked themselves which critter best symbolized their raging hormones. They decided on the name Elks, since a mature male elk has some of the best antlers around.

Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks or among the initiated, the Best People on Earth.


What? The Isaac Walton League still exists.

Remember how Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble were Water Buffaloes?
