Ok, this really doesnt have anything to do with camp, just random thoughts of my idle mind. So, not saying others might find this interesting, just something that popped to my head cause...well, cause I think too much in camp.
Yesterday at dinner the dishwasher, cook and sewage plant worker were talking about wild animals in their region. They were talking about elks, moose and other big animals and where they live in certain regions where the sewage plant worker (we call him 'jr pooh' cause he replaces the main worker 'pooh' or 'pooh sr') lives. They were talking about hunting so of course my mind just zoned out of the conversation since I never really had the chance to go hunting and dont think I would enjoy it either. I happened to zone in just at the moment when the dishwasher asked Jr pooh 'so, can you find any cougars there?'. Now, first thing my mind did was try to figure out how exactly he was going to work in the answer to that one, and sure enough the answer came in a form that I had not expected but the subject and word play was still there. He responded with "it all depends on what bar you look in". The cook and I both got it and I had to tell him that I knew it was coming but wasnt sure how he was going to work it in. I dont think the dishwasher got it so Jr pooh had to answer with the real answer of 'not yet, too late in the season..." and then I zoned out cause they were going about hunting again.
Here is where my mind started to go into its wandering state. I remembered the definition of a 'cougar' as being 'an older woman that is attracted to younger men'. I also remembered that there was actually an equation used to figure out if the woman is a cougar or not. If you take the woman's age, divide it by half and then add 7 to it, that would be the age that the man would have to be or younger for her to be classed as a cougar. So, a 40 year old woman (40 divided in half is 20 add 7 is 27) dating a man 27 years old or younger would be classified as a cougar.
This got me thinking about pushing the limit, cause I am me. If that equation stands, and taken the habit of teens dating younger and younger these days, technically a girl at the age of 14 dating another guy at the age of 14 is actually a cougar, since half of 14 is 7 and add 7 you are at 14 again. Then I though, so that would mean that any girl under the age of 14 that is attracting or 'dating' a guy that is older than 14 is considered a cougar as well? So a girl of 12 (12 divided in half is 6 plus 7 is 13) dating or attracted to a 13 year old guy is a cougar. Interesting....Not going to say comfortable or good to know, but interesting to think about.
I then had to ask the table if an older woman attracted to a younger guy is a cougar, what is the term used for an older man attracted to a much younger woman. Apparently the table agreed on the term 'creep' or 'creepy'. Anyone know if there is a different term used?
Yeah, not really interesting, just something that happens when my mind wanders out without a chaperone.
