Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 22, 2017

The 47 scouts that came back can use this as an opportunity to get their search & rescue badges.

A 6% loss Isn’t too bad.

Those three cubs wanted to spend some time with their ol’ uncle bear.. ;o)

Reminds me of the bit in Hogan’s Heroes where Sgt. Schultz says “How can I make a report when one prisoner is missing?!” and Col. Hogan replies “Look on the bright side: 14 are still here.”

not very much of a buddy system if you ask me (an Eagle Scout)

Just like the old child-abuser sang, you’ve got to accentuate the positive.

Next time try hiking somewhere other than Donner’s Pass.

He should’ve left all 50 behind; “what hike?”.

Hey, come on ! Somebody’s gotta be bait to distract the bear so the others can scatter to safety. Am I right ……?

“At least 47”. Some of them must still be iffy.

6% overhead loss. Still waaayyy better than most government programs.

The other 3 got lost while texting on their phones. And then the batteries died.

The cup is 47/50ths full.

Went on a scout hike. Came back with a very bad infection in my foot.

I used to run field trips on the 10% rule. If you came back plus or minus 10%, you were good. Pick up a few hitchhikers to have some spares.

Sounds to me like Wiley’s bears are at work.

you’re doing it wrong. you send the 50 kids into the woods and you lock the door after the last one leaves and put on the game so you can watch it in peace.

Scotty must be a Trump appointee.

Those three must’ve been the new girl recruits.

[ OK, folks, settle down. I was only jesting. ]

I’m obviously a bad person but I don’t like people who are too positive.

Unless you have a crystal ball and are able to predict the future then don’t be so positive please.

Blossom’s theme song, #3:

Don’t know about the future, that’s anybody’s guess.Ain’t no good reason for getting all depressed.Buy up your pad and pencil, I’ll give you a piece of my mind,In my opinionation, the sun is gonna surely shine.

Stop all your fussin’,Slap on a smileCome out and walk in the sun for awhile.

Don’t fight the feeling, you know you want to have a good time.And in my opinionation, the sun is gonna surely shine.

And he’s positive that nobody’s perfect.

I’m positive you’re a failure as a Scout Leader, Scotty. Focus on that!

He didn’t really take 50, but in the end he rounded them up.

Did Miss Simian say don’t go through the Forest of Doom?

It was the ROUS, I swear!

I hope the other 3 are alive and raised by friendly wolves…

Fire. Him. NOW.

thats dark…..
