Too stupid to roast marshmallows

It seems the U.S. Forest Service recently published a 700-word guide on how to safely roast marshmallows. (The publication was released in time for Aug.30, which was officially, I kid you not, “National Roasted Marshmallow Day.” Your tax dollars at work.)

This comprehensive article suggests that a 10-foot buffer between children and a fire is a good rule of thumb. Roasting sticks should be at least 30 inches in length. (Do the math for how long a kid’s arm will have to be to roast marshmallows from 10 feet away with a 30-inch stick.) Oh, and don’t eat too many marshmallows, since a lot of sugar may prevent children from sleeping well. And be careful of all those nasty calories and unhealthy ingredients in s’mores. Instead, we can roast thin slices of fruit and angel food cake for a “healthier” snack. “You’re still having campfire fun, but the focus is on a healthier evening snack,” the guide gravely informs us.

making a difference

I despise that phrase. Hitler made a difference. Stalin made a difference. Pol Pot made a difference. Deliver us, Oh Lord, from those who would "make a difference."

You can however, substitute a Reese's peanut butter cup for your chunk of chocolate.

Yeah, I had some other "commies" try and tell me that bull earlier this summer.....real Americans only make Smores with Hershey Bars....:) J/K.....

You know, you might be on to something there. Which end of the stick goes toward the fire anyway? Required directional arrows (can I say arrows) on the stick for clarity. Also, you got a huge selection to choose from. :>}

You said arrows: are you some kind of a racist?

So I guess toilet paper can no longer be called T.P. for short?
