We went to Mexico (Tijuana maybe? I don't know, we were only 14) on a mission with the rest of our church youth group. We learned some absurd skits about God to preform for Mexican migrant workers. Obviously this was some of the finest work done by missionaries ever.
Poor Jamie and I were all by ourselves in a different bunk room from the rest of our group with a bunch of religious wackos. After a few days we needed an outlet and something more entertaining than pure worship. We decided it would be a great idea to pull a prank on the boys that were in our group. And what could be better than collecting a maggot covered dead baby seal from the syringe strewed beach nearby to put in the boys' shower. Naturally we were elated with our plan. After collecting the carcass we needed to store it under our bunk bed in a garbage bag until the perfect opportunity arose for us to strike. Well after a few days we were found out before we could even act. Probably one of the wackos ratted us out. The director of the program had to get involved, I guess. They weren't really mad at us, just shocked. I remember them saying they had never 'dealt with a church like ours before.' Who knows, maybe they are still telling this story too about too exuberant, but troubled, youths from Seattle.
