We still carry our little entrenching tools everywhere we go. Fuckers aren't useful for much more than digging a hole to shit in, though.

Hey, back when I was in boy scouts I used my army-surplus shovel all the time: pounding tent stakes, digging fire pits, putting out campfires, bopping tenderfeet on the head with the handle when they didn't pay attention, trenching so there was no water in the tent when it rained, holding up a sunshade, anything that needed a prybar. It was a multi-tool before multitools invented.
Lousy for digging big holes, of course, but digging latrines was always a punishment duty in our troop, anyway.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
