Dead simple, but a few notes on the Pinewood Derby...

(a) No betting in front of the kids.
(b) No cussing in front of the moms or the kids.
(c) You may not threaten another father in the parking lot.
(d) Watch out for women who cheat.
(e) Stay very quite during the finals and NO gloating.
(f) Try to let the boy have some of the fun.
(g) Place all side bets earlier in the day.
(h) Don't show your ass.

My son, a new Cub Scout, has told me that he wants to participate in a

Hmm.

When I asked my son for the specs, he said:

"What's a spec?"

Sigh...



I was a Boy Scout, but never a Cub Scout. I would like to hear from
the Cognoscenti.
