Actually, I didn't exhale.
I for sure had sex with that woman, in your bed.
Thanks for reminding me, because it is an interesting story.
At the 2012 TDU Convention, where I was again a guest of the insurance company I represent, I was met in the lobby of the hotel at check-in and was told I wouldn't be allowed to attend if I didn't join.
I explained to him that I wouldn't join because of the perception by fruit loops like you.
Honestly, it kind of

me off and I maintained my position out of general principle as well.
During the moments following, as I contemplated whether to drive another 5 1/2 hrs home or find something else to do in Chicago for the weekend, the answer came to me.
I turned back and said, "while I am not willing to join TDU and because I appreciate you allowing me to represent the insurance company here, I will be willing to make a one time donation".
This turned out to be just fine with him and was a small investment with a big return, as I made several key connections with members from NYC.
So again, I have never joined TDU, have been to 2 of their conventions as a guest of an insurance company and made to them a one time donation.
If presented with the same circumstances again, knowing what I know now, I would probably join.
You lug nuts are going to label me that way, any way.
