Boy Scouting--The lessons learned.
'Peeing'
Scouts absolutely love peeing. They will pee on anything and at any time. If you were ever rash enough to get in the water at Perkins Scout Reservation river you could at any time look upstream and see a couple of scout attempting to warm the water for you.
It is a really funny and cool thing to do to pee in someone else's campfire. You don't have to like or dislike or even know them for it to be really fun.
If someone has peed in the scoutmaster's canteen you had better have an alibi.
The funniest thing possible in the entire world is to convince someone to pee on an electric fence. This is the ultimate in scout humor and grows no less funny when telling it around the campfire that night.
[This is a very much cross cultural joke. It seems to develop where ever electrical fences are built. The inventive wit of mankind seems to view this as a great source of humor from New Zealand to Germany and all over the Western Hemisphere. Interestingly the ancestral source of this joke appears to be the noted American Ben Franklin. He is on record as having invited a neighbor over after one of his most famous experiments and given him the following instructions: "Holdeth the string of this kite in thine left hand. Now thee whizeth upon this key."
