A Wisconsin chapter, we are told, decided to hold an ice fishing contest among the four voice parts, and, on a winter weekend, the guys went to a large frozen Wisconsin lake where they began the competition.
At the end of the first day the scores were:
| Basses: | 42 fish |
| Tenors: | 38 fish |
| Leads: | 33 fish |
| Baritones: | 0 fish |
That evening the baritone section leader got his men together and said, "I suspect that some kind of cheating is taking place."
Accordingly, the next day, he sent one of the baritones to spy on the other sections. The bari spy hid behind bushes and trees near each of the other sites and watched the other sections as they fished. After a short time he returned with his report.
"Well," said the bari section leader, "is there any cheating going on?"
"There sure is," the spy replied. "The guys in the other sections are cutting holes in the ice."
