Nothing like a long day of scouting to end with a nice relaxing evening by the campfire. Sometimes just sitting there watching the fire dance away, or the coals just burning a nice orange glow. Either way it is a great way to relax, having fellow ship around the campfire. Sometimes we would play games, sing songs or have a skit or three. I have seen A LOT of skits in my years, some good, some not so good, but the effort is what counted most. Sometimes a skit or song may make you think of someone in particular. There is one skit that does that for me and that is the skit Pencils, done by the camp Director, Dick White at Lyle. I found the skit and thought I would share it with you? What is your favorite skit or song and who do you think of when you see/hear it???
Pencils
Man Wearing Cap Sideways (looking Goofy) holding pencils says, quietly: Pencils, Pencils, Pencils
People Walk by in disgust
Good Scout: Let me help you sell your Pencils
Vendor: Okay!
Good Scout: First you need to get their attention first you must Yell "PENCILS!" Now you try it
Vendor: Quietly "pencils"
Scout: Louder
Vendor: a little louder "PEncils"
Scout: Really Loud
Vendor: Jumping up and Yelling at the top of his lungs: "P_E_N_C_I_L_S!!"
Scout: Okay, Now how much are they?
Vendor: Duh, I dunno
Scout: Say "3 for 5"
Vendor: 3-4-5
Scout: Okay are they Sharp?
Vendor: I dunno
Scout: Say Some are, Some aren't
Vendor: Some are , Some aren't
Scout: Okay if someone does not want to buy them what do you say?
Vendor: I dunno
Scout: Say If you don't someone else will
Vendor: If you don't someone else will
Scout: Good, that ought to help you have a good day!
Man enters holding magazine...
Vendor jumps up and knocks the magazine out of man's hands yelling ."PENCILS!"
Man: Do you know how much this magazine costs?
Vendor: 3-4-5?
Man: Is the rest of your family as smart as you are?
Vendor. Some are, Some aren't
Man: Would you like me to knock your head off?
Vendor: If you don't someone else will!
