As president of the GNAA, I must inform you that your membership application is REJECTED as your post was NOT first, it was second.
Due to this irregularity, you will be required to bend over to all full GNAA members for a period of 2 (two) weeks. I will meet you in the GNAA showers as soon as I finish updating the member list. If you cry out, you will be expelled as a pansy.
