Jed Murphy, who had been working
hard all day on his farm, suddenly remembered that he was
scheduled to be initiated at a small rural lodge. Being already
quite late in
the day, he had no time to go home and change clothes. Rushing
as fast as he could, he arrived at the lodge where another
candidate was sitting on a bench outside the
building waiting to receive
his EA degree (the lodge building was very small requiring
candidates to wait seated on the bench until the brethren
were ready for them.) Jed
knew the other fellow as a
used car salesman. After a few minutes, two men came out and
Jed was chosen to go first, leaving the car salesman to wait
his turn. When Jed
was alone in the preparation
room (which incidentally was on the second floor directly
over the bench outside), after being instructed how to prepare
himself, he suddenly
remembered that earlier in
the day he had been castrating hogs on his farm and had forgotten
about the testicles in his pocket that he had planned to feed
his dogs.
Frantically, he raised the
small window of the preparation room, tossing the hog balls
out. Later, when they came out to get the next candidate,
he was gone! Nobody ever
saw him again!
