Oh goodness what's a few years wait? People wait hours standing in line just to get into a 40-minute exercise session every week. And those people are already here, already engaged in the weekly classes. They show up - and it's closed. Or worse, they show up, wait an hour in line, only to be told when they get to the door that the class is now full, they aren't allowed to enter.

At least when you're on a club's waiting list, you can do other things while you wait, right? Surely there's SOME kind of club that doesn't have a waiting list you can join. I'll bet you could get interested in the navel lint crochet club if you really put your mind to it. Or how about the pie-eating-contest training club. Or the County Fair Pig Caller's monthly meeting.

Afterall this is paradise, what difference does it make if one club is closed out, you can join thousands of other ones!
