Late-night breakfast and setting back Ron's watch
| Origin | Winter Camp XII (1988) |
| The Story | The Set-up day has a number of its own stories and traditions and the time shift prank is one of the funniest. There were six campers in attendance and at 4:00 am, 4 of them were still up. Ron Donohue and Mike Osvath had gone to bed and were sound asleep. A discussion arose amongst the others about what to do about breakfast. If they went to bed, they'd probably get 4 or 5hours of sleep before they'd have to wake up to make breakfast. They decided it would be better to have breakfast, then go to bed. They probably could have just eaten without Ron and Mike, but that's not how Wineter Campers think. Instead, they moved very visible clock, including Ron's watch to show 7:00am, then woke them up and had breakfast. Ron finished his and went back to take a nap. Ozzie also fell asleep. The clocks were restored and the others went to bed as well. Hours later they woke up without incident. Ron was convinced he'd napped for about an hour after breakfast and seemed happy until he was told the truth at lunch. |
