And there's a lot of people being humored, Ray!!
You can get the Pig Latin, Ebonics, Klingon (yeah, Klingon!),
Southern Drawl and a few more -- as well as the Overtrained,
Undertrained, Potty Trained, and others from the Scouter.com
Trading Post site (surprised that Big Ed didn't make that
posting!!)
While they are all are NOT OFFICIAL STRIPS, and some "patch police"
people *will* ask you to remove it, if you can "speak the language"
according to the BSA's written standards, yeah, you CAN wear the
strip!!
Please remember the *intent* of the strip; it's great to have fun
but it's also great to be in the right uniform at the right time!
Settummanque! (who wears a Southern Drawl strip on one of his
uniform shirts!)
