Rubber Pancakes and a Tasty Revenge!

Merry Christmas from Scoop, Mrs. Scoop, and Scoop Jr.!
It was a month or so ago when Carol and her daughter decided to make pancakes
for breakfast at the campsite. They used a box of mix that had been left in the
trailer cabinet over the winter. Things seemed fine as hungry husband and father
Mark awaited his perfect pancakes. They were perfect all right-a platter of
congealed, indestructible "things" that producers hope to use in the forthcoming
sequel "Terminator IV: The Rise of The Deadly Dough."
After bending three
forks and a knife, Carol and her daughter instead picked the pancakes up and
began flinging them at each other, resulting in much giddiness. An eyewitness
who wishes to remain nameless (Kevin Possed Scoop) described it as "two goofy
women throwing rubbery balls at each other while poor Mark tried to remain
dignified while dodging pancakes traveling with the velocity of a
bullet."
DISCUSSION: If you were Mark, would you criticize your wife's
cooking? Also, how come guys get called "immature" when they watch "Caddyshack"
for the 45th time, knowing every line Carl is going to say by heart, yet they
would not-sober-wad up their food and throw it at each other?
Wait a
minute-yes, they would. But that's beside the point.
My final question up
for discussion is: Who thinks Mark was a fool not to videotape this and send it
in to "Funniest RV Videos"?
Anyway, innocent passerby Kevin was involved in
the melee when the pancake-excited women decided to use him as a target. "I was
on my golf cart, and I had to maneuver suddenly-thank goodness I have
lightning-quick reflexes and excellent driving skills. Pancakes were flying
everywhere, bouncing off of walls, the road, Mark's head Venus Williams would
have had a tough time keeping up with those volleys! Luckily, I escaped without
injury, but as I was dodging batter-balls, my cart was struck by a
well-intentioned throw. I have no doubt that it was meant for my nose, but it
hit the cart instead and bounced off.
"Unfortunately, a car was behind methe
poor unsuspecting man! The pancake-missile landed on the rear tire and would not
spin off. Away he went with a constant 'thump-squish, thump-squish' sound. I
doubt he'll ever pry that pancake off. But I guarantee that tire will never go
flat that batch of pancakes can't be destroyed!"
