Scouting Too Seriously? Humor

I hope this isn't a repeat (and I hope this is appropriate for this mail
list - let me know) but I got such a kick out of the list I thought I
would share it... We are wondering if WE take Scouting Too Seriously!

You Might Be Taking Your Scouting Too Seriously If:

-You buy that '89 Chevy Caprice because you really like that fleur di
lis hood ornament.
-Your favorite color is "olive drab"
-You decide to lash together the new deck on the back of your house.
-You plan to serve foil meals at your next dinner party.
-You walk the streets in broad daylight with a coffee cup and flashlight
hanging from your belt.
-You raise your hand in the scout sign at a heated business meeting.
-You were arrested by airport security because you wouldn't give up your
official BSA pocket knife until the cop said "thank you".
-You didn't mind losing power to your house for three days.
-Your son hides his copy of Boy's Life from you.
-Your plans for remodeling the bathroom include digging the hole deeper.
-You trade your 25 foot center console fishing boat in on that great
little 15 foot canoe.
-Your favorite movie is "Follow Me Boys" starring Fred MacMurry, and you
spent months trying to convince Disney to release it on home video.
-Your patron saint is Ward Cleaver.
-You disconnect the automatic dishwasher in favor of the "3 pot method".
-You sneak a cup of "bug juice" after the troop turns in for the night.
-You can start a fire by rubbing two sticks together.
-You gave your wife a mummy bag rated for -15 degrees F for Christmas.
-You name one of your kids Baden.
-You can recite the 12 points of the Scout Law backwards, in order, in 3
seconds flat.
-You bought 10,000 shares of Coleman stock on an inside tip they were
about to release a microwave accessory for their camp stove line.
-You can't eat eggs anymore unless they are cooked in a zip-locked bag.
-You plan to get rich by writing a best selling Dutch Oven cook book.
-You actually own a left-handed smoke shifter.
-Singing "Scout Vespers" makes you cry uncontrollably.
-You were disappointed when Scouting magazine didn't win the Pulitzer
Prize last year.
