most unfortunate for the 17yr old.

i have this thing about being around "young-people" , i'll actually step out of an elevator and/or leave a restroom if some "minor is unattended!" , there are too many things that could go wrong and something as innocent as taking 3 "brownies"(girlscouts) and 1 "cubby"(boyscouts) to their "pack" meetings could become so sexually miscontrued by the "story-hungry" media.

sincerely ~ ..."i jim promise to do my best! , to do my duty , for god and country , and obey the laws of the pack"... eagle scout 19--something :fool:

p.s ~ the above was written in jest , i doubt seriously if they were "scavenging" for a feather ("grey-goose" was probably as close to a "feather" as they could get) to qualify for the "wilderness-patch" :fool:
