CULTURE AND THE INDIVIDUAL

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.

I don’t want to join a club that will accept me as a member.

I’d never belong to a club that would have me as a member.

I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.

I would never become a member of any club that would have me.

I would never belong to a club that would accept ME as a member.

Any club that will accept me as a member, I wouldn’t want to join.

I don’t want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.

I don’t care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.

I would not join any club that would have someone like me for a member.

I’d never join a club that would allow a person like me to become a member.

Groucho Marx says he DISMISS the club that would have him as a member.

I’m of the Groucho Marx persuasion, and don’t want any part of any club that would have me as a member.

Which brings to mind Groucho Marx’s quip about not wanting to join any club that would have him as a member.

Enter Julius Henry Marx, better known as Groucho Marx: "I would never join a club that would have me as a member."

In this spirit it was named after Groucho Marx because of his famous remark about not joining any club that would have him as a member.

I sent the club a wire stating, PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON’T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER.

I wouldn't stoop to publishing a poem in a journal that would stoop so low as to publish a poem by me.

Or date a woman who would date me.

Or attend a university that would have me as a student.

Or rent an apartment whose landlord would have me as a tenant.

Or look into a mirror that would reflect my own image.

Or step into shoes small enough to fit my feet.

No skin that would willingly cover my body would be willingly accepted by my body.

I will wear no clothes sold to me by a store willing to sell me clothes.

I will be no speaker of any language content to have me as a speaker.
