The flood

I believe the year was about 1990. I had worked the stable for boys season and was working in the kitchen for girls season. Joe was the kitchen director at the time and the kitchen staff were all pretty good friends and we were known to play a few pranks from time to time. Most of the victims of our fun were unlucky rotating staff who found themselves washing dishes. We were constantly putting first year staff in the dishwater or if we were really ambitious in the turtle pond.
It was all Joe's idea to set our sites higher and play a joke on Dan H. the personel director. Late one night we crept into the office and managed to get Dan's office door open. once inside we opened the outside door and took in rowboat. we set it on his desk and proceded to turn on a hose and fill it with water to make removal a more difficult process. While we were in the precess of filling it the it became obvious the that the boat was not holding the water as well as we had figured it would. We turned off the hose and decided we had done enough damage and locked up the office and got the hell out of dodge. The next morning we waited to hear what would become of the prank. We heard nothing. A few more days went by and we heard nothing more about it. We then found out that Dan had come down with a flu and had not been in the office for the past few days. We said nothing and tried to act normal. In the meantime the Camp office had been having phone problems. Calls were dropped. lines weren't working. Camp called in the phone company to find the problem. The repair man checked the main line and then went from extension to extension checking the connections. Everything check out until he got to Dan's office. Where he found a wet rusty boat had somehow shorted out the phone line.
