SC - OT & OOP, ha!!

[William Seibert]

This once occurred at a past multi-day event.  A person, rather
famed for his ability to prepare sumptuous feasts, had agreed to
prepare a farewell feast for his household and their guests.  The
feast in question was to occur on the next to last day of the
event.  You know, the day before the pack-the-hell-up-and-get-out
day.  Anyway, the night before, said famous cook had been
imbibing rather to extreme, and as a result, was still sleeping
when those fortunate gentles who had "volunteered" to assist
showed up.  First fortunate gentle went into cook's tent to
awaken him.  "Nudge, nudge", and the somnolent cook took a swing
at the not-so-fortunate gentle with a cleaver, narrowly missing
taking off his head.  Famous cook didn't even wake up.  I guess
maybe he was pretty fortunate at that.  Volunteers went into a
huddle, and ended up begging a passing Duke to awaken the cook.
Duke armored up in full plate, went into the tent and came out
with huge gouges in his plate.  "No way am I waking that guy up"
was his comment.  Another huddle, and an impromptu drum circle
was formed, to no avail.  But the drum circle did awaken the
cook's mother, who wanted to know what was going on at this
un-godly hour of the morning.  The facts of the situation were
carefully, tearfully explained to her, and she went into her
son's tent.  A few minutes later, out came previously mentioned
famous cook, with no adverse consequences to his mother.  Thus
proving, "you can't nudge a cook like his mother."
