If the dog shit that was on my shovel yesterday was anything to go by, that basically means “stays stationary under any amount of applied power”

If you want that then you want a Tesla. See Youtube 'Tesla vs Corvette'.

On the other hand if you want to buy a car from a company whose owner isn't a monumental plonker...

I don't drive a Lexus, and never have. I sat in one once; it was OK.

Then you are categorically not a Mason. So I’ve been told.

Dude, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you're actually 3 Masons. Little ones obviously standing on each others shoulders in a big trenchcoat pretending to be a real person. You'll realise a lot of things make sense now you know about it right?

I think I just had an apostrophe!

If you need to ask, you ain't one.

Isn't that bloke from Pink Floyd one?

Yup. That is why he is the custodian of a Saucerful Of Secrets.

I know quite a lot of them, though I never saw the appeal myself. Its a very weird thing in practice, essentially a load of rituals and strange outfits, and then a load of socialising. I've been to the Grand Temple in London, and it is a v impressive building, but its just, well, weird.

The main ideology of a mason is building a decent person, using the "building blocks" of behaviour and values. They are one of the biggest, if not the biggest charitable donors in the country. that is also one of their key purposes.

Even though they are accused (and with reason) to use masonry to influence business and careers, the use of masonry in that respect is strictly forbidden.

In terms of it's influence on the inner workings of business, government, security (insert conspiracy theory at will) I don't think its any more sinister than a golf club. Its really just a social club with strange ritualistic carry-ons.

Black balling - that comes from masonry.

Its just a very odd thing that I can't see any of my friends wanting to be involved in. I'd rather watch telly.
