For the lantern yes, you had something to eat besides pinto beans, and perhaps you had a camp stove?

Beans?

You had beans?

[Scoutmaster]

You're not going to dig your way out of this.

You said "'pinto' beans."

Now, when we had beans - and I said when, because we usually had a piece of bark. I don't particularly like bark. And I had to share my piece of bark with my drooling cousin Curtis.

But when we had beans, we didn't have any fancy-schmancy specific varieties of beans, like pinto beans or black bean or cannellini beans. We weren't choosy about our legumes.

We just had beans. From the plain white generic bags, that were usually misprinted "baens."

Except they didn't come from bags and we had to pick 'em, and we walked five miles, uphill, in the snow, both ways, to pick 'em. And we were glad to have 'em because bark gets stuck between your teeth.
