Subject: [RR] National RR Council
resolution
Dear Fellow Rangernetters;
Greetings, Peace, and so forth.
In as much as I have been keeping company for some years now with like
characters, namely- the Royal Ranger commander, the FCF member, Wilderness
Frontiersman, et al.
And in as much as I have (as no doubt many of you may also attest to
yourselves) become familiar with certain characteristics of said
aforementioned company.
And in as much as not the least of these characteristics are some of the
most indesirable, and not only possessed by the leaders of this fine
organization, but the boys therein as well.
I have considered it to be most prudent to address one
particular situation forthrightly, and upon most careful examination,
found it necessary to present these findings to you, my fellow Ranger leaders,
for your perusal.
And not only for your perusal, but in the sincere hope, that someone,
upon reading this resolution, will sponsor and submit it at this years
National Royal Ranger Council.
To this end, it is my earnest desire, that all who receive this
resolution forward it to thier imediate District Staff members, in hopes that
they will become acutely aware of this situation and be compelled to push this
motion through, to it's appropriate conclusion.
Therefore, I respectfully submit for your consideration the following
RESOLUTION:
WHEREAS, In the Royal Ranger Ministry, Camping accounts for not a little
portion of our activity,
AND WHEREAS, there are certain Foods and Meals, which have become
customary and traditional to be eaten at Royal Ranger Campouts, among which
are the "Mulligan" or "Hobo" stew, s'mores, and let us not forget- the
inveterate foil dinner,
AND WHEREAS, it is commonly known, that there are certain foods which,
when consumed even in moderation, (a trait which most boys are not generally
given to), produce in the bowels a gas which, when emitted, tends to bear a
most offensive odor; and SOME foods, such as turtle eggs, and Fried
Skunk-which afford a stink that not even the grizzliest of Mountain Men can
tolerate,
AND WHEREAS, the sport of Camping generally requires that it's
participants dwell in close quarters, namely Tents, thus negating the liberty
of convenient retreat upon commission of such offenses,
AND WHEREAS, there are certain other foods, which, upon
consumption, produce a gas so pure as to be nearly insensible to even the most
delicate of noses and, if the benefactor could but avoid the Resounding
Report, should most probably give vent to his feelings unnoticed,
THEREFORE, may it be RESOLVED that a commitee be formed for the
express purpose of finding and identifying such foods which may make the
natural discharge of wind not only Inoffensive, but agreeable as
Perfume,
AND FURTHERMORE, upon discovery of such, publish it accordingly in all
the appropriate Manuals and Handbooks, so that we all may pass gas without
giving offense, but rather, with blessing.
Your's respectfully,
o2binfcf
