The Snoring Baker Brothers

If memory serves, I think this story takes place at the same time of the Egg Dredging story.  We had set up camp and were happily sitting around the campsite when low and behold a Park Attendant informed us that we had too many tents/campers on one site.  No amount of cajoling or even attempted bribery would change their directive that we remove one dwelling.  The Baker Boys drew the short straw and moved into the old Coleman Camper with the rest of the group.  Everything was fine and all was well with the world.  Then bedtime approached. Plenty of room was available and everyone went to sleep.  A brief moment later, a locomotive came through the camper.  At least that's what it sounded like.  A few seconds later a F-14 Tomcat fired off her afterburners.  No-one save the Baker Boys were still asleep.  It was then determined that the cacophony of noise was being emitted from the two of them.  By God they were world class snorers.  No amount of cussing, complaining, and even physical abuse could curb the ear shattering decibels arising from the two brothers.  Little sleep was had by all save them.  They did pay, the next morning their arms and backs were bruised black and blue from the physical abuse suffered upon their fragile bodies by the rest of the crew.  Johnny "Keeper of the Flame" received the Gold Medal of Snoring that night and his brother Ken "Gravel Face" received the Silver.
