What do you serve...

[SMT224 10]

At last night's Troop meetings, I had put a little riddle up on the white board where we put announcements for upcoming activities - "What do you serve, but do not eat?" Something just for fun, and the answer, according to the joke book I got it out of is "tennis ball."

 

At the end of the meeting, I pointed to the riddle and asked the guys what they thought. The first answer was "God", although that brought about some discussion on the Eucharist, as we are sponsored by a Catholic Church, as to whether or nor you can eat God... then someone called out, "the community!" and then "our Country!", and "the Troop!" All of which brought about agreement. Then, someone said, "a ball", which lead to "a volley ball" and then finally, "a tennis ball."

 

All the answers were right I told them, and after a few last announcements we closed the meeting. I was amazed, and very pleased at the thinking that brought about these answers. Perhaps some of that Scout Spirit is actually soaking in!
