I don't care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.As quoted in The Groucho Letters (1967) by Arthur Sheekman |

You're also not supposed to post about Lounge topics on the non-member boards. |

Groucho's full quote: I sent the club a wire stating, "PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT PEOPLE LIKE ME AS A MEMBER." While funny enough on its own, for its self-deprecating nature, to me the best part is the reason for the quote. From this link: link 1) Groucho allows himself to be talked into joining the Friar's Club, though he doesn't like clubs in general.
2) He quickly becomes fed up with this club in particular, because of what he sees as its low intellectual and ethical standards.
3) The last straw is the final offensive remark in a series of insults to which he is subjected by a member of the club.
4) Groucho notifies the club that he is quitting, inoffensively giving as his excuse that he just doesn't have time to participate in the club's activities.
5) Unhappy about Groucho's resignation and sensing that there may be more to it than the comedian is letting on, club members press him for the "real" reason.
6) Wanting to be done with this entanglement once and for all, Groucho pretends to disclose the real reason in the famous telegram, and is left alone from then on. |
