Of course that's not the original article and I didn't see that reference but... In boy scouts, we had real pocket knives. I was never in Cub Scouts, but if that's something they use in cub scouts, I'll bet it's more like a butter knife than the "jack knife" I had in boy scouts. None of my jack knives ever had either a spoon or a fork. It looks a lot more like a "camping utensil" than a "pocket knife". Still, I'm glad the school district had the sense not to hit him up with a 45 day tour of a school for troubled children, and they were flexible enough to modify the rules. some places would just say "Too bad, we can't change the policy" Ric ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
