Seems to fit

Perhaps you can tell me Beavah. You seem to be able to divine my intentions. What was my first thought? And while you are at it, what am I thinking right now?

[Lisabob]

Look, I came here for an argument!

 

(does that fit? seems to cover the whole I&P forum, sometimes)

Gern, you're thinking about chocolate cream pie! No, wait. That's me...

There must be a way to combine that quote with the popular "lamp post skit" of BSA fame.

 

Scouter is too lazy to utilize BSA resources or get training so instead he utilizes a Scout forum. He is not really looking for "answers" but confirmation for his already formed beliefs. So instead of getting his questions answered by an authorative source (BSA resources and trainers - i.e. "up the street"), he instead goes to where the light is brighter and where it may stroke his ego - the forum right under the lamp post!

 

Reference:He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts - for support rather than illumination." - Andrew Lang

 

 

Scout Skit

1st Scout comes out, holds hand up with flashlight turned on and aimed at the floor (lights dimmed)

2nd Scout comes out, looking all around

3rd Scout comes out, asks them "what are you doing?"

2nd Scout replies "I'm looking for my dollar that I lost, will you help me? "

3rd "sure" (starts looking all around

...

nth Scout comes out, asks the 2nd "what are all of you doing?"

2nd Scout replies "I'm looking for my dollar that I lost, will you help me? "

nth "sure, where did you loose it?"

2nd "up the street" (points away)

nth "well then, why are you looking here?"

2nd "the light is much better over here!"
