The Chaplain

Coop up a bunch of people in a small barracks and the pranksters will usually seek each other out and start a war. Collatoral damage is always a risk, but a risk that is accepted by the pranksters.
Take John toilet-papering two lieutenant colonels' beds last month for example. I wasn't involved, but I do have pictures, of course.
Last night we got punk'd... By the chaplain of all people. (he's pictured here). We were watching TV and the lights had just gone out at 2200. Then there was a horrendous fart from the cube next door. A couple of minutes later, another long and loud fart seemed to come from a cube on the opposite site. The frequency of the farts increased until the members of the Swamp figured out that something was afoot and fanned out to find the culprit.
Turns out it was the chaplain with a remote-controlled fart-sound-maker machine thing that he had hidden under the covers in John's bed.
We laughed our asses off.
