Baiters

As is usual in my Lodge, the junior officers move up one station later in the masonic year, on evenings when no special work is scheduled. This gives them experience for the coming year. One young Senior Deacon got his tongue wrapped around his eye teeth awkwardly during the closing of Lodge, the first time sitting as Junior Warden. Instead of saying

"It is the order of the WM that this lodge of Master MASONS be now closed."

It came out as Master BAITERS. Later he told the Master he was just practicing for annual inspection.
