The fifteenth rule of Tautology Club reads…
15. All Tautology Club rules shall be very uniquely different if they are Tautology Club rules, and not the rules of some other club that is not Tautology Club....and it should come after the fourteenth rule of Tautology Club and before the sixteenth rule of the same Club.
Welcome to the club, where you are being warmly greeted.

That definition seems perfectly sound. If it didn’t, it wouldn’t seem that way.

There are some colleges that would probably be more interested in a student who started a Tautology Club than one who joined an Honor Club! Reed, for example, comes to mind.

Tautology Club meetings shall only be held while they are in session. They shall start at the beginning of the meeting, continue on through the middle, and finish at the end. Tautology Club meetings shall be over when they are complete. Tautology Club meetings shall not be held when they are over, out of session, before they have begun, or when they are not being held.
Any Tautology Club meeting that is held when it is not being held shall be considered a Paradox Club meeting. Anybody that says otherwise is a Paradox Club member, and they always tell lies, especially when asked if they are a member of Paradox Club.

Tautology Club and paradox club are not exclusive from Pun club, lest a pair of docks be involved in a paradox that negatively affects my meal of pear and lox.
