The International Oom Paul Society of Non-Typicals invites you to become it's next member. This ridiculously elite group now has lifetime memberships available now at the following cost: one photo and one pipe. The photo of you must fit the following guidelines: You must be wearing a suit and tie or bowtie, formal dress for ladies. An Oom Paul must be in hand or mouth, and photo should encompass from approximately the bottom of the rib cage to just above the head. An overly serious look must be present on the face. See our member gallery for examples. The Oom Paul pipe that you send need not be the same one in the photo, but should be in decent working condition. It remains owned by you and it will not be smoked, sold, bartered, battered, mishandled, misplaced, or made to levitate. It will be put with your name and photo as a growing collection for view online and at select future shows. Please note, The Board of Directors has informed me that there is a worldwide shortage of Oom Pauls. Because of this, we are relaxing our guidelines. Sending your photo (per specs above) with a note that an Oom Paul will follow within 100 years is the new standard for membership. Your heirs may be contacted. Before submitting for membership, please note, you must be of legal age in your part of the world to smoke an Oom Paul while wearing boots or riding atop a transport animal of some sort. You also must have smoked an Oom Paul pipe and liked it. At the time of membership acceptance, you will be granted a title. Your name, photo, and title will be on the IOPSONTs page at Oompaul.com.
