Here's a pic of The Senator I found, wearing a Shriner fez:

He's in the middle. I have this pegged at about 1964, and he was president of the Clown Unit. I notice they haven't glommed on to Beatle haircuts yet, though, they being inordinately retrograde on the crewcut.
The guy on the right is JC Lewis, who was mayor of Savannah at the time. Owned the ABC television affiliate, the Ford dealership, Green Island, and the southern tip of Skidaway Island, among other things. Croesus ain't in it. The man has coin, by God. JC was the outgoing president, as I recall. The guy on the left? No idea. But he looks gay.
Now, black and white photography is a strange thing, but I do believe I detect a roseate glow in the old man's cheeks. A hale fellow, well met. And he seems extremely pleased with himself, a trait I obviously inherited.
Me? Yeah, I have one of those fezzes too. But I only wear it for Barbary Pirate Christian Sex Slave nights in the Velocihovel. You know how it is.
You're never gonna do it without the fez on.
great picture.
Goddamn you crack me up.

When you sit down to write, does the cesspool that you call a brain just open and flow?
If that is the case I'm sending my cesspool over for lessons.
Jeebus you are funny.
