Secret societies always remind me of the Simpson's. Actually, everything reminds me of the Simpsons.

From the Stonecutter's Episode:

HOMER: And by the Sacred Parchment, I swear that if I reveal the secrets of the Stonecutters, may my stomach become bloated and my head be plucked of all but three hairs.

MOE: Uh, I think he should have to take a different oath.
