The girl with masonic earrings

I was on a subway yesterday and a big black lady fell right into my lap as the train started. I told her that we have to stop meeting like this..she laughed and I looked at her earrings and I saw that the were masonic (compass and square symbol) I have read a lot about freemasons so I told her that I liked her earrings...I think she thought maybe I was a freemason, she showed me her ring, it was also masonic. I could never be a freemason because I dont join things. I have an  aversion to joining anything. I should get paid for all my conspiracy research, it is more fun than painting.
