Camping Tips
* A potato baked in the coals for one hour makes an
excellent side dish. A potato baked in the coals for
three hours makes an excellent hockey puck.
* You can start a fire without matches by eating Mexican
food, then breathing on a pile of dry sticks.
* In emergency situations, you can survive in the wilder-
ness by shooting small game with a slingshot made from
the elastic waistband of your underwear.
* The guitar of the noisy teenager at the next campsite
makes excellent kindling.
* Check the washing instructions before purchasing any
apparel to be worn camping. Buy only those that read:
"Beat on a rock in stream."
* The sight of a bald eagle has thrilled campers for
generations. The sight of a bald man, however, does
absolutely nothing for the eagle.
* It's entirely possible to spend your whole vacation
on a winding mountain road behind a large motor home.
* Effective January 1, 2006, you will actually have to
enlist in the Swiss Army to get a Swiss Army Knife.
* Bear bells provide an element of safety for hikers in
grizzly country. The tricky part is getting them on the
bears.
* In an emergency, a drawstring from a parka hood can
be used to strangle a snoring tent mate.
