Join, or Die

Prácticamente se borraron de los clubes.

Ah, ya me acuerdo, porque no sé si es-- porque después hice una película que se llama Join or Die, júntense o mueran.

Que en realidad es una frase histórica de la historia de Norteamérica.

Eh, no sé si viene de la época de la guerra de secesión o algo así, que era unámonos o si no nos hacen percha los de al lado, una cosa así.
