I Should Have Been a Charter Member

The Dull Men's Club: "They have a fascination with luggage carousels and park benches. They enjoy watching paint dry and, around this time of year, sap drip. These are the members of the Dull Men's Club, and they don't care if they bore you.

'We're not a 12-step program where we're trying to change our ways,' says club president Leland Carlson, 71, of London, where the club, known as DMC, is based. 'We're a two-step program: We admit we're dull and we're gonna keep it that way.'

The club, which Carlson founded in New York City with a few bored -- and boring -- pals in the mid-'80s, has remained true to its founder's words. It's never grown, it's never held an event and it's never had a membership drive."
