My Dad was and it cost a lot in time/money - he used to quote the Monty Python Architects sketch where the bloke said "if you let me join I'll sit at the back and not get in anyone's way" and point out that, at least in his experience, that isn't possible.
I know another geezer who is and says much the same. -

I was going to join but then found out why you had to bring a jar of KY Jelly on the first nightThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

It always makes me laugh when I hear about people being asked to join. Someone I worked with on my last gig was one of those people.
