Packaged Goods

I don't usually consider myself to be too amused by predictable dick jokes coming from even more predicable sources. Today, I feel compelled to tell a story though.
I was walking down the hallway of one of the buildings I frequent, and saw a banner for a fraternity. The banner read: "[Fraternity Name], delivering the biggest packages in college since 1910." I didn't really think it was all that funny at first, but then I realized what the banner was actually saying about their recruiting and bid selection process. Let me set up the scenario for you.

:In an apartment building somewhere, fraternity brothers meet with the prospects the have chosen to possibly enter into their organization:

Frat President: I trust all you gentlemen know why you're here tonight, so I will cut to the chase. We here in [Fraternity Name] have a very specific set of standards that we must hold true to, for we have a name and a slogan to live up to.

Rush Leader: Ok boys, we have set up this long, waist high table for all of you to assemble directly in front of. We have selected each one of you because we believe you have what it takes to be a part of this prestigious organization.

Rushes: (Yelled, in unison) Sir, we are so grateful for this opportunity.

Frat President and Rush Leader: (In unison) Alright boys, whip 'em out and slap 'em down...it's inspecting time.
