Thus, do I detect a Probie making a beer demand of an Executive Committee Member???

Just askin'

From the desk of your president...

Brothers and Sisters of the ODSS,

Kudos to brother John! As luck or fate or dumb chance would have it I have the Official ODSS Book of Bylaws cracked open (we are talking about beer procedure here) to the exact bylaw that Brother John is referring to and wait, a pause for dramatic effect..., Brother John has stated the law verbatim!!! Therefore, the bylaws further state: By the mearest whim of dues paying members to obtain a beverage of choice the Probationary Applicant, 3rd class shall jump to action to satisfy such need. Applicant can gain stature amoung the regular rank and file members by anticipating such need. Fellow Brothers, please don't shoot the messenger, just reading the bylaw as stated.

Regards,

Brother Cosmo
