Scout Survival According to Davey

A scout master was teaching his Boy Scouts about survival in the desert.

“What are the three most important things you should bring with you in case you get lost in the desert?” he asked.

Several hands went up. Many important things were suggested, such as food, matches, etc.

Then one little boy in the back eagerly raised his hand.

“Yes, Davey, what are the three most important things you would bring with you?” asked the scout master.

Davey replied, “A compass, a canteen of water, and a deck of cards.”

“Why is that, Davy?” asked the scout master.

Davey answered, “Well, the compass is to find the right direction, and the water is to prevent dehydration.

“And what about the deck of cards?” asked the scout master impatiently.

Davey replied, “Well, Sir, as soon as you start playing solitaire, someone is bound to come up behind you and say put that red 8 on top of that black 9.”
