You really shouldn't snort the manly fluids.

I'll patiently await Steve's input.

I've been reading a 1911 edition of the Boy Scouts Handbook. I got
it because I really like the woodscraft skills, but it's also quite
an interesting insight to the past. They had much higher standards
for what the scouts should be capable of. For example, to earn an
archery merit badge today you have to be able to repair an arrow and
basically demonstrate that you know how to use a bow. In 1911 you
had to make your own bow and arrows which were accurate to a range of
100 ft and also be able to shoot fast enough to have 6 arrows in
flight at the same time. For the architecture badge you had to
design a two story house. For Pioneering you had to build a log
shack, including felling the trees, building scaffolding, etc. For
the Poultry Farming badge you had to raise chickens and bring them to
market.
I'm confident that a lot of grown men today would fail as 1911 Boy
Scouts.
....but the health section had some quaint notions. The health
lesson in attached pics particularly struck me since I referenced Dr
Strangelove the other day. You'll be a better man if you conserve
your manly fluids. At least they wanted the boys to be better men.
Hearts were in the right place.
