I still get flak for being a boy scout, but they teach you some crazy useful skills, including knot tying. I always liked being the guy who would know how to do anything with the rope and put all the little tenderfoots (tenderfeet?) in their place. One thing I had to learn on my own though, is splicing. No one in my troop (including the adults) new how to.

But i find the most important knot to know is the noose. I always freak out the people in my department by lynching a dummy we have from the rafters. I guess I have issues or something
