- Do not turn the kitchen sink on when someone is in the shower. Hottttt
- When baiting a mouse trap with peanut butter, do not double dip. Something to do about germs.
- Close the cabin door when entering or leaving the cabin in the early morning or after dark. Buzzzzzzzzzz.
- Do not put used cooking oil in the cupboard above the stove in an open container. Some people are naturally curious.
- Say you like the food even if it sucks. They may have slaved all day over a hot stove.
- Take a turn at washing the dishes. It's the only way I know to get rid of the worm guts that get stuck under your fingernails. Don't forget to rinse.
- If the blue poker chips change to green, it's time to go to bed.
- If you hear a loud thump that shakes the cabin in the middle of the night, it's OK to roll over and go back to sleep. He's alright....
- When you return to the cabin after fishing in the evening, do not be alarmed at the fellow sitting in the corner in shorts with an unbuttoned shirt or possibly no shirt at all. No that is not really an opossum hanging around his neck. He may be asleep, but you really need to resist the urge to run you fingers through the fur. He doesn't like to be touched. Well, maybe Cody could get away with it.

This is some funny stuff. Two interesting things about this post...one, it is all true, two if you google "Heliose" (because I had to) this Blog come up on the first page of results. The last one is priceless. It is even more true if he is sitting on the back stoop looking haggard.
ReplyDeleteIf GREEN poker chips start to look green, you are way past bunk time.
It is only because of sound sleep and Black Velvet that falling out of bed has not caused any broken bones up there.
In the Virtue Memorial it is far more important to not finish last than it is to finish first.
Be careful when crushing miscellaneous cans in the cabin...it may not be what you think it is.
When you wake up in the morning, it isn't pouring down rain. That is the Chutes you forgot about while you were sleeping.
If you go outside at dusk, the cabin better be on fire. There is no other good reason to do this.
Make sure the fish house gets rinsed good when you are done cleaning fish. We aren't that clean but we are that afraid of bears.
New guys take notice..nobody told me alot of this stuff my first year, especially about old used cooking oil. This is good stuff. Can Cody really get away with running his fingers through Larry's muff, I mean fur?
ReplyDeleteBig Fish, that there's funny- I don't care who you are. The thump might not wake us up anymore since the camp directer has be relegated to bottom bunk only. I think the whole thing was a ploy so he wouldn't have to climb those foot-killer ladders.
ReplyDeleteFor the record Aaron, we told you not to listen to Bernie and Larry. That should have been instruction enough.
ReplyDeleteCan't trust your family....who can you trust!!!
