Abraham Mehta recalls his first real experience with Jason:

"Mark and I had this plan to steal a bear from the Columbus Zoo and put it in this guy's room. We were sitting around our room discussing this when Jason came by. He asked what was up, and we tried to blow him off, but then he said he'd heard our plans and wanted to help.

He had this idea that we should say that one of us was some kind of eskimo, and that he should complain to the zoo keeper that the polar bear looked sick. He could get into the bear enclosure, and try to fix the lock so that we could get in later."

We decided that Jason got to be the eskimo, since he thought of the plan and all, and so we went to the zoo that afternoon and tried it. They thought Jason was on crack or something, and called security. Jason decked the zoo keeper, and we ran off. It was a pretty stupid stunt."
