Ray,
look at your (cf-community as a whole) participation in cf-community
and the time you spend coding widgets for the hell of it. You (We,
cf-community as a whole) are still that easily amused. It's just a little more
cerebral now days.

LOL...that's a cool story! Although, I would question whether or not he
was really a scout at all. :) Geez, knife safety is one of the first
things that gets drilled into your brain.
Speaking of that, I remember getting my first official Boy Scout pocket
knife very vividly. It really felt like a rite of passage or something:
"What? I get to keep this knife in my pocket all the time? With no adult
supervision?" Man, I was so psyched that day, I practiced whittling until
my hands were aching. I wish I was as easily amused these days.....
