I was sent home from summer camp because of poor eyesight. I was the
only camper who didn't see the skunk.
two guys sit on construction job site the one turns to the other and
says "do you enjoy camping?" the other guy replys "yes i love camping".the
other guy says to his friend "i have a question for you" his friend says
"shoot" his friend turns to him and says with a smurk "if you were camping
in a tent with some friends and you woke up with your pants around your knees
and a sore ass would you tell anyone" the man thinks about his friends question
embarrassed he answers "probably not id be too embarrassed" his friend with
a serious look on his face says "when do you wanna go camping?"
A counselor was helping his kids put their stuff away on
their first morning in Summer Camp. He was surprised to
see one of the youngsters had an umbrella. The counselor
asked, "Why did you bring an umbrella to camp?"
The kid answered, "Did you ever have a mother?

Dear Son,
I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are eNOugh to
keep even an hoNOr student busy. Do NOt forget that the pursuit of
kNOwledge is a NOble task, and you can never study eNOugh.

Dear Mom,
Our scout master told us all write to our parents in case
you saw the flood on TV and worried. We are OK.
Only 1 of our tents and 2 sleeping bags got washed
away. Luckily, none of us got drowned because we
were all up on the mountain looking for Chad when it
happened. Oh yes, please call Chad's mother and tell
her he is OK. He can't write because of the cast. I got
to ride in one of the search & rescue jeeps. It was neat.
We never would have found him in the dark if it hadn't
been for the lightning. Scoutmaster Webb got mad at
Chad for going on a hike alone without telling anyone.
Chad said he did tell him, but it was during the fire so
he probably didn't hear him.
Did you know that if you put gas on a fire, the gas can
will blow up? The wet wood still didn't burn, but one of
our tents did. Also some of our clothes. John is going to
look weird until his hair grows back. We will be home on
Saturday if Scoutmaster Webb gets the car fixed. It wasn't
his fault about the wreck. The brakes worked OK when
we left. Scoutmaster Webb said that a car that old you have
to expect something to break down; that's probably why he
can't get insurance on it. We think it's a neat car. He
doesn't care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot, sometimes he
lets us ride on the tailgate. It gets pretty hot with 10 people
in a car. He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the
highway patrolman stopped and talked to us.
Scoutmaster Webb is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good
driver. In fact, he is teaching Terry how to drive. But he
only lets him drive on the mountain roads where there isn't
any traffic. All we ever see up there are logging trucks.

This morning all of the guys were diving off the rocks and
swimming out in the lake. Scoutmaster Webb wouldn't let
me because I can't swim and Chad was afraid he would sink
because of his cast, so he let us take the canoe across the
lake. It was great. You can still see some of the trees under
the water from the flood. Scoutmaster Webb isn't crabby
like some scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about the
life jackets. He has to spend a lot of time working on the
car so we are trying not to cause him any trouble.
Guess what? We've all passed our first aid merit badges.
When Dave dove in the lake and cut his arm, we got to
see how a tourniquet works. Also Wade and I threw up.
Scoutmaster Webb said it probably was just food
poisoning from the leftover chicken. He said they got
sick that way with the food they ate in prison. I'm so glad
he got out and became our scoutmaster. He said he sure
figured out how to get things done better while he was
doing his time.
I have to go now. We are going into town to mail our
letters and buy bullets.
Don't worry about anything. We are fine.
Love,
Cole
P.S. How long has it been since I had a tetanus shot?
