Living: the ultimate team sport

Lighten up Mondays

I don’t camp but I do lots of hiking in the Pacific Northwest. Here are some humorous outdoor tips for you campers out there:

• When using a public campground, a tuba placed on your picnic table will keep the campsites on either side vacant;
• Get even with a bear who raids your food supply by kicking his favorite stump apart and eating all the bugs;
• A two-man pup tent does not include two men or a pup;
• The guitar of the noisy camper at the next site makes excellent kindling;
• It’s entirely possible to spend your whole vacation on a winding mountain road behind a large motor home;
• I bet you’re wondering, where do forest rangers go to get away from it all;
• Camping defined: paying a bunch of money to pretend you’re homeless;

and finally and appropriate this election season…

• A great deal of hostility can be released by using newspaper photos of politicians for toilet paper.
