Ralph is our sarge for October and he shared a short sad story about how a flight from Alberta was held up while flight attendants tried to tape up a broken overhead compartment supposedly due to a lady Rotarian from our club whose carry on was too large to fit in.  Although the explanation transferred the blame to an over zealous good Samaritan fellow Rotarian ( male of course) who actually applied the muscle. Marilyn was none the less given a fine.  The tone for the day then turned a little sexist as a fine for those who had not yet sold a GNO ticket was specifically given to the girls only.

  Poor Ralph then had another short story prepared for us about how he had to buy some companions a round of beers to make amends for wearing a Trump shirt that had been given him at last weeks lunch meeting by Tony Antidormi. And so Tony was fined.  Wendy and Chuck then had a fight about wanting to pay each others fines  because due to Chucks illegible writing on the guest register , Wendy had mispronounced a guests name and so despite their gallantry  in true Ralph fashion,  both were fined. Carl and John  were fined for having extra name tags , despite plausible explanations, no excuses allowed, and both were fined.
