“Just renewed my gin membership”

“Just renewed my gin membership”—a pun on “gym membership”—is a saying that has been printed on many images. “A gin membership sounds better than a gym membership. $30/mo for all the gin you want” was posted on Twitter by Tim Cherepko on July 21 2009. “What!? you said GYM? i could’ve sworn i heard you say GIN MEMBERSHIP. well, this explains a lot…” was posted on Twitter by dana j. robinson on June 16, 2010.
   
“Just renewed my gin membership” was posted on Twitter by Dave Ihlenfeld on June 17, 2011. “Just renewed my gin membership. RT @daveihl” was posted on Twitter on FunnyOneLiners later on June 17, 2011.

Ahh New Year’s Day. When everyone signs up for a new gin membership. Or continues the current one in my case.
