Like Ruthie, most kids would not know what semaphores are (much less how to use them). I taught that to my Cub Scouts (and my own kids) among other things.
I had long campaigned for including the Coast Guard in the traditional “service songs” medley. When they finally did, I looked up as we went into Semper Paradus and saw two standing, one was saying “m-e-e…” in semaphore. I assume they got together after the concert.

In today’s version: I’ve seen dogs like that: very confusing.

You’d think today’s lifeguards would use radio or cellphones.

@Arye UygurDogs also wag their tails when mad and apprehensive. It’s usually held higher when mad and lower when scared.

Just coincidence that today’s dog’s name is Cookie while the rerun has Joe saying “cookie”? (And who counts a s’more as a cookie, anyway?)

I like Ruthie’s misinterpretation of S’mores and Joe for cookies.
