My take is that we usually try to get kids to become good citizens by engaging them in socially approved activities (such as sports and volunteering, which one would mention in college application) after school. The slogan is laughable first of all because it is highly doubtful the activities mentioned in it are widely approved by today's society. Secondly, even among those who are not against fishing, hunting and trapping, they probably would not think of these activities as good choices for building kids' character. Last but not least, our bar for measuring good kids versus bad kids is not whether they mug little old ladies. 200 years ago, maybe; not any more! To put it simply, this slogan is laughable because it is soooooo outdated.
工作时同事看到这个东东,笑了半天。我丝毫不觉得好笑,忽略手写的小脏字儿, 不在笑点之内:)
我说:I am a loser, wasting my time on this job, should do something more meaningful and more challengeable, like starting my own business .
同事说同感, feel unfulfilled.

这个笑点是:狩猎、钓鱼是孩子们做的事吗?不是,是上了年纪就人做的事情;那么,有兴趣做这些事的孩子就是性格成熟老成的孩子,所以就有可能对小老太太(年轻老太太)感兴趣
Mug 有亲嘴的意思。后一句反衬的小孩的老成,笑点包袱就出来了。

还有每周三的听歌练听力
每周五的一句话翻译
都是大家轮流主持!:)
我老家骂人最恶的话莫过于“有人(象拉屎一样拉出来的孩子)‘拉’,没人(教)养”。狩猎、下套、钓鱼等,显然都是孩子需要有大人带着才会去玩、做的事情。有这样的家长带、教的孩子,能差到哪儿去?有多大的可能会跑出去抢劫干坏事?
而黑人(等)社区里的绝大多数孩子的确就是“有人拉没人养”的(美国黑人新生儿中整整 80% 是“非婚生子女”),你看看犯罪率就知道了。
