Not my mug of cocoa, old thing.

Were you?

Shame, you might have learned "Be prepared!"


Is that something one learns as a boy scout?

So my brothers tell me. I guess you were too you busy playing "Shepherd" in the nativity play year after year to think about joining the Boy Scouts, right? How's/are this year's rehearsals going?

Hey, don't knock nativity-scene portrayers!

Imagine the dedication necessary to stand still for hours on end.

Let's say you let your concentration slip for a few seconds and unthinkingly pick your nose. All of a sudden you hear some kid say something like, "Mommy, did the shepherds pick their noses when Jesus was born?"

"No, Billy, they didn't."

"Tom, why don't you take a break."
"My nose itched -- SUE ME!"

I agree, the sheep are the ones who find it really hard to be still. Just hear 'em "Baa" and bound when Mr P-astor is around. Wink
