The National Poetry Contest had come down to the last two, a Yale graduate and a redneck from Texas. They were given a word, then they were allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a poem that contained the word. The word that they were given was "Timbuktu."
First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He stepped to the microphone and said:
Slowly across the desert sand Trekked a lonely caravan; Men on camels, two by two Destination Timbuktu.
The crowd went crazy! No way could the redneck top that, they thought. The redneck calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:
Me and Tim a huntin’ went. Met three whores in a pop up tent. They was three, and we was two, So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.
The redneck won hands down!

Here’s 2 jokes to lighten your day!
1. The Australian Poetry Competition had come down to two finalists –
One a university graduate and the other an old Aboriginal.
They were given a word, then allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a poem that contained the word.
The word was "TIMBUKTU".
First to recite his poem was the university graduate.He stepped up to the microphone and said:
"Slowly across the desert sand
Trekked a lonely caravan;
Men on camels, two by two;
Destination TIMBUKTU."
The crowd applauded. No way could the old Abbo top that, they thought.
The old Aboriginal calmly made his way to the microphone and said:
"Me and Tim a-huntin’ went;
Met three whores in a pop-up tent.
There were three and we were two;
So I bucked one and TIMBUKTU."
2. A married couple went to hospital to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother’s labor pain to the baby’s father.
He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it. The doctor set the pain transfer to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before.
As the labor progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and kick it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer.
The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband’s blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this point, they decided to try for 50%. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since the pain transfer was obviously helping out the wife considerably, the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him.
The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic and the new little family was able to go home from hospital immediately after the birth.
When they got home, the milkman was dead on the porch!
Season’s Compliments!

I have recently purchased a single skinned 2 man pop-up tent, i have used it twice with my girlfriend, we noticed that both times there has been very large amounts of condensation on the walls. The tent is a Gelert Quick Pitch SS, Reg.Design No. 3021178 (If that’s any help at all)
What can I do to reduce the amount of condensation? i heard if you put a plastic sheet over the top of your tent this may help, but i don’t see the physics behind it, i thought a second layer on top would make it even harder for the tent to ventilate.
Anyway, all feedback is appreciated greatly!
I am in the boy scouts in southeast Iowa, what kind of tent should I get?

It to be long lasting

stability
enough room for 2 people and gear
strong seams
able to keep heat in during cold months
