So I get home last night and in the mail is an 8 page letter addressed to me with an invitation to join a "secret society". It seems I have been identified by some secret group of famous people who must remain anonymous right now as having "traits" that they are looking for to join their group. This must be something REALLY special, because they apparently only open themselves for new members every 7 years. Not only that, there is no cost to join. All I have to do is respond and I get a free book that details all their secrets to wealth, power, fame, etc.
Now normally, I would shy away from this stuff. I saw "Eyes Wide Shut" a few years ago when it came out and any notion of secret societies just gives me the heebee-jeebees. But, I'm really kinda tired of this whole "working for a living" thing and am thinking about giving it a go. On the other hand, I just know there has to be some level of hazing involved if I do join. I'm not really in the mood to get dropped off out in the wilderness after a 20 mile ride in a trunk of a car with only a quarter.
Does anyone else on FR happen to belong to a secret society? Being that we are Freepers and all, could you just share the secrets with me so that I don't have to take the time to put a stamp on the pre-addressed envelope they sent me for a response?
Oh, and I have to respond by this Friday 8/5 or else the opportunity is lost FOREVER!!. Any advice is appreciated.

Is Ross Perot running for president again?.........
If it is what I think it is, just Google the organization that sent the letter. You'll have your answer, which in a word is NOT secret, but a scam.
Listen do da doo.....do you wanna know a secret?.......do da doo.........Do you promise not to tell........whooooaaaaa
I'd tell you all about it, but then I'd have to kill you.
You sat through all of "Eyes Wide Shut"?
Et in Arcadia Ego.
I'm having this vision of Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton in their "Loyal Order Of Raccons" jackets
See my tagline, but it costs $25 to join. We'll place you in charge of devastating a blue state within a 20 minute flight of your home. You must own a parachute and short spade.
Is it the Mafia?
My only dilemma here is whether to file this thread under "scam" or under "humor"...
This must be a joke, I can't believe any freeper would consider such a thing. BTW (if it is not a joke) they WILL try to get your money.
I used to be a Democrat. Almost nobody admits to being one of those, anymore...
Was the letter signed by Tom Cruise?
Fnord. Take a close look at the third float in any Shriners' parade. Fnord.
YES, I belong to a secret society. The "Ancient Order of Druids" but whenever we are asked about our group we are always supposed to lie. In fact "real" druids have many years of training in the art of lying (like ninjas of veracity). As part of our training we must lie at least three times a day, seven days a week. Of course I'm lying right now but you could never detect it because I have been in advanced training in the US House of Representatives as well as the "Ancient Order of Druids"
Amway?
