Tell us a funny camp story. I don’t understand this request; camp has never told me a story… Camp is more of the strong silent type. I’ve never, in fact, heard a word from camp. Yet camp always is there when I leave the office and always is there when I get to work yet never so much as a “Hey, how’s your day going?” or “Can I get you a cup of coffee?” This also means that I have never heard one negative word out of camp. My guess is that it has a lot to do with the fact that camp doesn’t have a “mouth” or “vocal chords” which most doctors agree are required for “speaking.” Nor does camp have “hands” for sign language. Perhaps camp tries to use the trees for FSL (forest sign language). I am, unfortunately, not versed in this archaic language; I should consult with Rick aka Treebeard on this matter.
What does camp mean to you? It means I get to work with Steve Lomax.
Editor's note: judging by his "funny" camp story and the above photo, Martin should have been a comedian for a living. Right? Wrong.
