Good Morning All.. Kat, have you finished changing all of the light bulbs yet?...

Good Morning StephenYest I have not only finished changing all of the light bulbs, I have helped all the chickens cross the road.

It's okay to be dull?

That is right. Assuring members that it is alright to be dull and it is the primary mission of the Dull People's Club.
It is a place for dull people to feel at home, to feel comfortable. A place to find safe excitement.

But why is a "Club" necessary?

We believe it is a place to share information is very helpful. A place where all dull people can share their (dull) experiences and (modest) goals. To exchange examples of things that they get their excitement from.

In the Dull People’s Club there are only two steps:

1. We admit we are dull

2. We are going to keep it that way

Are "dull people" a minority group — a "movement" fighting for rights?

No. We are not a movement; we like to stay put.
Dull People are not fighting for rights. No one is out there trying to stop dull people from being dull.

And there are only Two Rules

Rule No 1: Kat is always correct

Rule No 2: In case of any doubt, refer to Rule No 1
