Subject: RE: BS: Weird things you did when you were a kid
Oh, lord, knives! As Boy Scouts we were forbidden sheath knives -- some sort of rumor about a kid who'd cut off his hand or something. But then again, "Stretch" was an intriguing game to play while camping...two guys face each other, and you toss a knive; if it sticks the other guy has to stretch his legs to wherever the knive stuck. The winner sticks the knife where the other guy can't stretch to.

Like up in a tree. In the campfire (if you're using the other guy's knife).

But using pocket knives made this boring. So we used hand axes (hatchets)...

And even that got boring, so we started playing "In Between": start with your legs spread and work inward, until the gap between the feet is so small the other guy chickens out.
