..............of his head and ha,ha,haaaa.
The others laugh with her, though she hasn't even said it yet, they don't even know what they are laughing at. It comes in gurgles and in between coughing fits, His toupee came off caught in my ring, ha, ha, ha, h a a a
These ladies circle is joined by tall, gray, knock knee, sock less, T shirted Romeo in thongs.
The women look up, interrupting their laughter in midair like well disciplined musicians. Romeo feels welcomed. Because of his height, bends down to kneel next to them to better connect. But instead of the usual exchange of greetings, in the momentary silence, all that can be heard is the loud crackling of his bones.
Someone tries hard not to, but bursts out in a loud laugh that turns into a coughing fit. The hostess for the evening breaks the embarrassing moment, It’s 9: 30, she announces good nature. Out, out.
Slowly, coats are reached for. The Cleaning Committee begins their job. Coordinator of Events starts counting the money they took in at $2 PER. PERSON, plus a DISH TO SHARE. $5 WITHOUT DISH. It wil1 go to Children's Parties Committee.
A man suggests, in a loud voice, how about going dancing? Who wants to go dancing? We can all meet at Martinellis, is around the corner.
Fiftieshs, new male member with a broad smile, Not me. See you next Sunday.
The Hostess, OK Joe. Well, how did you like it?
Joe, Very nice, good food, met some new people. Beats staying home.
Hostess, good, good, that's what's all about. Now next Sunday the Wine & Whimsey is at Pat’s. Got her address? It’s in this month’s bulletin. Take a copy.
Joe, Till next Sunday. And starts down the hallway waving his monthly bulletin. Near the front door he passes Ana and Linda, takes a step back, smiling. You girl’s going dancing?
No. we-gotta-go-to work tomorrow. Morning comes too early, Ana answers with a smile. Laughing bump each other going out the door. Yeah, yeah, Ana says walking to their car, so long as there are Sundays there is hope.

All I can say is, this captured the essence of social groups. It's like living in an apartment, you have to put up with a lot of things some neighbors dothat are irritating and concentrate of finding a 'pearl' amongst the hog pen of social groups. It helps you learn social grace to stay clear of the those looking for a fresh blood supply, in case you find a lovely soul that by chance3 came to the same place that day/night.
