But I have the right, I have the right!

I used to work with a bunch of people like that. They'd sit around and talk each other into an orange-faced frenzy about some imagined slight.

Help! Someone in our book club wants to discuss books and we don't want to discuss books in our book club, we just want to sit in a circle and nod affirmatively but we have to call it a book club because The Nodding Affirmatively In A Circle Club sounds kind of dirty and it's too long on the name tags.

I wonder if that book club membership got full of orange-faced frenzy as they discussed things-that-were-not-books over their green tea and biscotti. They had to throw the stranger out before some old maid had a coronary.
