Don’t bring food into your tent and you’ll be fine.

Girl Scout: Is this made from real lemons?
Wednesday: Yes.
Girl Scout: I only like all-natural foods and beverages, organically grown, with no preservatives. Are you sure they’re real lemons?
Pugsley: Yes.
Girl Scout: Well, I’ll tell you what. I’ll buy a cup if you buy a box of my delicious Girl Scout cookies. Do we have a deal?
Wednesday: Are they made from real Girl Scouts?

Adults then loaded the girls, about 15 of them, into a van and took them to the camp's mess hall.

Wait a second! A bear just tried to eat one girl scount and you only have an approximate number you drove away with.

Well, we either got them all back, or at least most, or maybe we even picked up a survivor or two from last week's campout.

It’s so cute now that NJ has pretty much ceased bear hunts. Those rascally Democrats sure know how to put the fun back in camping.

Can’t very much blame the bear. When I was a boy scout, I might have tried the same thing.

Something doesn’t seem right with this story ..... Girl Scouts camping??? I find that hard to believe.

I think the correct term is ‘dyke’ not ‘bear’, when referencing the Girl Scouts, even though they may look kind of manly..... /sarc

No way he was pulling me out of the comfort of my tent.

Identifying Bears:

If you see a Bear... climb a tree.

If the bear climbs up the tree and kills you... it’s a Black Bear.

If it knocks the tree down and kills you... it’s a Grizzly Bear.

Well, it’s not like girl scouting is an exact science or anything. :-)
