Another guy had to flop around like a fish.
Reddit user Hillsusmc recounts:
"In the Marine Corps when we really f----- up we would go "fishing." It is where you squat down like your sitting in a chair and hold a shovel out in front of you in the air like a fishing pole. Then you just sit there for a long time and if the shovel would start to droop down my sergeant would grab the tip of the shovel and start to shake it and make me pretend I was reeling in the big one. One time me and a buddy got in trouble together so they made him fish and me flop around on the desk like a fish he had already caught for almost an hour."
This guy had to smile, then frown, then smile.
