No one in the room likes it -- unless there is a Dull Man at the meeting. You should see the Dull Man's face light up. Finally, there is something going on in the room that he can feel pleased with. He likes order, predictability -- and of course lack of excitement.One problem that we should confess, however, is that on the National Council of Dull Men, so far we have no parliamentarian -- no expert trained on Robert's Rules of Order -- as a member. If there are any parliamentarians out there that would like to submit his name (and résumé) for us to consider, please email it to us. To learn more about the Rules -- their history and the authors (Dull?) -- you can click here or on the image below, and soon you will be at the Official Web site of Robert's Rules of Order.

In closing, please note that you probably can find happiness in applying Robert's Rules of Order in as many of your daily activities as you can.

Personal History Awareness Month
Our personal history? Who cares? We are Dull, and we are going to keep it that way. We don’t much care about why we are Dull — whether it’s genetic or environmental — it’s a waste of time to search for the answers. Nonetheless, we celebrate Personal History Awareness Month. We think it is a pleasingly Dull thing to do — writing out our personal history of being Dull. Info: PO Box 1339, Albany Oregon, 97321 fax (541) 924-0833

Hydrotherapy Month
This one is somewhat controversial. Some Dull Men find these pools to be too exciting, with all the bubbles, water swirling around, and noise. On the other hand, other Dull Men find them to be soothing, relaxing, a chance to really "veg out." Info: www.hotspring.com

The sponsors of this claim that salsa is used more often than ketchup. But we find that ketchup is enough. In fact, Dull Men like any food that goes well with ketchup. But if you’re interested in salsa, for info: www.pacefoods.com.

Moving is not for Dull Men. We like to stay put. But if you want Info: www.alliedvan.com.
