The Raccoon Lodge Greeting - On the sitcom THE HONEYMOONERS/CBS/1955-56, loudmouth bus driver, Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) belonged to a fraternal organization called the Raccoons. Their official club greeting was a strange handshake which had them touch elbows (first right then left), followed by a "Wooooo" sounding cry as they wiggled the raccoon tail that dangled from the back of their lodge hat. They ended with the phrase "Brothers under the Pelt." See also FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS - "The Raccoons
