Fish in the Bed
| Origin | Winter Camp III (1979) |
| The Story | During Winter Camp III, Chris Terry went ice-fishing and actually caught several fish. This may well be the only successful fishing exercise in the history of Winter Camp. Unfortunately, he decided to store his captured fish in the freezer at the BC building without wrapping them, just laying on top of other things. Mr. Wilson told him that was unacceptable and they'd have to be removed. Later, the fish were found laying in the snow in front of the cabin. Steve Donohue, unhappy with this choice, picked up the various fish and placed them, still unwrapped, in Chris' bed. When he found them he demanded to know who had done such a thing. The universal answer was "Steve". There were several Steves in camp and Chris decided to take out his frustration on the smallest one. |
| Veracity | This story is true and I don't think it's ever been disputed. |
| Trigger | Successful fishing trip (unlikely) or a poorly organized freezer (likely). |
| Positive Message | You can catch fish in Beaver Lake. Don't store your crap in the freezer. |
