“The wood-chipper, while ordinarily a banal method of disposal, was used in an inspired and unorthodox manner during the assignment. Several participants exhibited dismay, but such is always to be expected from those assigned to less advantageous roles within the happening. Situating the wood-chipper at the bay’s edge was esthetic as well as efficient: the waters roiled with the schools of bait-fish ingesting the ejected chum, and the rising sun reflecting off the otherwise glassy seas provided a marvelous ‘last look’ for those further down the line awaiting their turn. But we were so young, then. Ah, memories of youth!”

A very interesting play on the word, chum...

I will never see our woodchipper in quite the same way again.

Nothing "chummy" in these roiling waters, not for the bait, nor for those being baited. Interesting piece of FFF, Pearce.
