 August Nelson saw Elvis, then told rec.humor of a vision:
>If I'm not mistaken, he was speaking, if in fact he spoke, of the 
>Hillcrest Country Club, the top Jewish country club in LA/Hollywood.

Close, but not quite. Groucho was the first Jew ever invited to join this
particular club. Which made his remark more biting than it sounds like to
modern ears. Back in those days, there was no such thing as a Jews-only
country club. Still isn't, come to think of it.

By the time Danny Thomas started golfing at the Hillcrest, they had opened
the club up to anyone with the $$ to pay the dues.
