Deflating wind bags aim of club
New York social circle reverses banquet ritual by ridiculing guest speakers at monthly meetings. The deflator club began in 1981 with 17 circus fans and now counts 40 members including prominent figures such as cabinet members, senators, governors, Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey. The ritual ends with a mock critique and a chance for the guest to respond, usually stopped by a sharp warning.
