Once a Mason Synopsis
Some days after her husband's initiation into a Masonic Lodge, his wife demands to know the secrets of the great fraternal organization. Henry tells her that he is not privileged to reveal these secrets, but Polly insists that he promised never to keep any secrets from her. Finally, he confides to her the secret word of his Lodge. And so he gives away the initiation rites to Polly - his riding of the mythical goat, the solemn initiation with its mystic signs, etc. He swears her to secrecy but she naturally tells her neighbor all about the Masons so that the entire town is laughing at his holy revelations. On his return from the lodge meeting, Henry tells her that he is permitted to remain in the organization on condition that she pretends that the secrets he had revealed to her were all a joke.
Bunkered Synopsis
Jimmie thinks women have no business on the golf course. One day, Polly brings her friend Angela to the golf club. Jimmie and Angela instantly fall in love. Jimmie is delighted to discover that Angie has no interest in golf. They get married, and during the honeymoon, Angie tells Jimmie it would be cruel of her to let him go golfing all alone. So she accompanies him, much to Jimmie's dismay. (He has been "bunkered.") Angela tells Polly she has taken up golf because Jimmie loves it, and she wants the marriage to be successful. Angela's hands soon get calloused, and her nose begins to peel. When she realizes what is happening to her, she begs Jimmie to go golfing without her.
"Once a Mason" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Bunkered" offers its own unique cult appeal.
