Okay, I go to the store and buy a tent.
It says on the box 2 MAN tent. So I use it andf guess what, I can only fit myself in and perhaps a midget (assuming one is available).
Why do they call it a 2 MAN tent????
I go back to the store and complain, the guy says.
"Its normal, what you need is a 3 MAN tent, and I have a special tent here, its called a 2 Second tent".
So I bought one and went camping.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL SAYS

Colin this is a riot! First those 2 man tents are for 2 midgets or 2 very close guys.
Also it's funny you talk about those pop-up tents. The last time joe was home on leave I was telling him about them but I didn't know where to find one.
Are they really that fucked up? what exactly are they called? Who makes them, etc. He was interested in one. Are they any larger than the other 2 man tents? what do they cost?
One last question! Is the word fuck and its use original to you guys or is that from our perversion of the english language?
Hello again,
They are actually called "2 second tents".
Usually available in big superstores during camping season.
Here is a link to the company that made mine. They cost around 30 euros or something over in europe.

They are actually good, especially if a person was caught by bad weather. Putting them back in the bag takes 10 - 15 mins first time, and 1 minute once you have learned.
I tend to exaggerate the truth on my blog for comedic effect.
Your last question, the word "fuck".
It comes from the Middle English (no longer used word) "fucken"
Means 'to strike, move quickly or penetrate.'
So yes, fuck is derived from Anglo Saxon language because "ficken" (German) or "fokken" (Dutch) are similar words and mean much the same thing.
English is a "bastard" language, incorporating latin, french, spanish, german, dutch.
Traditionally it gets worse with time and you yanks have managed to bastardise it, sorry, (bastardize) it even further for us.
Thats life.
Take care :-)
Thanks Colin
I will get that information to my son. He wants one and having seen a commercial on it I thought it was a good idea though I questioned its reality.
Americans have most definitely bastardized the English language but as it is a work in process, they find new ways of baastardisng it every day. I hate it!
not good
