Girls need tp??? The best prank ever

Ok let me clarify, the best prank I've been involved in.  Too bad I don't have pictures scanned, so I'll have to start by saying "Picture this..."  Or I could just start with a little background.  The summer before sixth grade my Aunt got a job as a camp nurse at a campfire camp and informed my folks that it was a Campfire camp and Campfire just went coed, so they should send me and my brother.  What a great idea!!!  Now, at first I was skeptical, until I found out what a goldmine it was!  So Campfire had all age groups, 1st grade through seniors in high school and many people had no clue it went coed.  That first year there were maybe just a handful of boys that were there the same week I was, so NO COMPETITION!!!! There were plenty of girls to chose from.  I continued going there until the summer before my senior year and the odds continued to be favorable and the older I got sure there were less to pick from, but I found that the female councilors were available, especially in the senior year (odds were favorable there as well as there weren't many male councilors either).  The last two years I went, I took the CIT (councilor in training) program, which meant I was there for four weeks over the summer... I mean why only have fun for a week???

So, if you sort through the reminsing about being a teen boy, you get an idea about the camp... mostly female.  Each age group had their own section of the camp with their own themed places to stay.  The closest thing to a cabin is the three walled variety the younger kids were in... as you got older there were two story towers, tree houses and teepees.  Each group had one standard bathroom with power and water, so there was that luxury, and there was a normal hall were we all ate our meals that was down by the lakefront. 

My senior year, myself and the other male CIT Neil were grouped for a week with two male councilers in their group to shadow them.  I can't remember their names so one will be Joe, and the other Blow.  About 3am one night we got up and threw on some dark cloths, and grabbed flashlights and a bunch of garbage bags and off into the night.  We basically raided every bathroom in camp except for the single toilet job down in main camp.  Even raided the lifeguard and the head camp person's places.  In our wake there was not one shred of toilet paper left in each bathroom, we even stole the cardboard rolls that were left over... nothing, not even a gnat could wipe his (or her) rear.  I'll tell you there is nothing more disconcerting than walking into one door of a two door bathroom (entrance at each end) going into a stall and its still filling from just being flushed.  We got [ ] close to being caught.

Our first plan was to inflate the garbage bags as much as we could and float the bags in between the docks in the lake.  Though that would have been good, but if something happened and the tp sank we would have alot more to deal with then miffed women.  We would have been strung up d-e-a-d, probably skinned first, live and I'm not that big of a knucklehead.  We opted for plan B which was to tp the dining hall.  We did it well too!  Tp through the rafters, each of the tables and "gotcha" spelled out in full rolls on the fire place.

The women were miffed too and the line at that single toilet was huuuuuuuuuuuugeeee.  I wish I had pictures scanned.  I know I have one or two of the dining hall somewhere.  We never admitted to it but people had a pretty good idea whodunnit.  I mean would a bunch of women really steal all the toilet paper in a camp with mostly girls?  Not so much.  When I walked into the dining hall for breakfast one of the councilers said "Tell me you didn't do this."  So I did.  I didn't lie one bit, I just said what she told me too.

My brother, who went on to be a councilor for a couple years, and attends some reunions tells me that prank is still brought up time to time.

Enjoy your day and be sure to inventory your tp before I leave your house!
