There’s an old sea story about a ship’s Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad.

The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally.

The first mate responded, “Aye, aye sir, I’ll see to it immediately!”

The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, “The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear.”

He continued, “Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowski, and Brown, you change with Schultz.”

THE MORAL OF THE STORY:

Someone may come along and promise “Change“,
but don’t count on things smelling any better.

REAL CHANGE WILL ONLY HAPPEN IF WE CHANGE FROM THIS POOR EXCUSE OF A LEADER TO ALMOST ANYONE ELSE!

SMART ASS:

Two young businessmen in Florida were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new store in the shopping mall. As yet, the store wasn’t ready, with only a few shelves and display racks set up.

One said to the other, “I’ll bet that any minute now some old senior is going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we’re selling.”

Sure enough, just a moment later, a curious senior gentleman walked up to the window, looked around intensely and rapped on the glass, then in a loud voice asked, “What are you sellin’ here?”

One of the men replied sarcastically, “We’re selling ass-holes.”

Without skipping a beat, the old timer said, “You must be doing well. Only two left.”

Missouri State apologizes for playing ‘Dixie’ at site of lynching

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. • Missouri State University is
apologizing after its band performed “Dixie” at a site where three
black men were lynched in 1906.

Interim President Clif Smart tells the Springfield News-Leader
the Confederate anthem was an “unfortunate selection” and won’t be
played again at a public venue.

The school’s Pride Band played “Dixie” at the Nov. 18 dedication
of Park Central Square in Springfield, where the university is
located. A plaque identifies the square as the location where three
black men were lynched more than a century ago.

The local NAACP president says “Dixie” was an inappropriate
choice and sparked community complaints.

Robertson had a bit part in Mr. Roberts (1950) in Boston. Robertson played a future President of the United States in PT 109 (chosen personally by John F. Kennedy to portray the then-Lt. Kennedy) and a presidential candidate in The Best Man (1964). Later came Charly (an adaptation of Flowers for Algernon for which he won the 1968 Academy Award for Best Actor).

Other films included Picnic (1955), Autumn Leaves (1956), Gidget (1959), Sunday in New York (1963), Devil’s Brigade (1968), Too Late the Hero (1970), J. W. Coop (1972), Three Days of the Condor (1975), Obsession (1976), Star 80 (1983) and Malone (1987). Late in his life Robertson’s career had a resurgence. He appeared as Uncle Ben Parker in the first movie adaptation of Spider-Man (2002), as well as in the sequels Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007). He commented on his website that “Since Spider-Man 1 and 2, I seem to have a whole new generation of fans. That in itself is a fine residual.”^[7] He was also in the horror film Riding the Bullet (2004).

Robertson’s television appearances included The Twilight Zone episodes “A Hundred Yards Over the Rim” (1961) and “The Dummy” (1962) followed by guest starring roles in such series as the NBC medical drama about psychiatry The Eleventh Hour (1963) in the role of Jeff Dillon, “The Man Who Came Home Late”. In 1958, he portrayed Joe Clay in the very first broadcast of Playhouse 90′s Days of Wine and Roses, in what some critics cite as the superior version of this story about alcoholism. Other network appearances included The Greatest Show on Earth (1963) and ABC‘s Breaking Point (1964) and the ABC Stage 67 episode “The Trap of Gold” (1966).

He had a starring role in the live space opera Rod Brown of the Rocket Rangers (1953–54), as well as recurring roles on Hallmark Hall of Fame (1952), Alcoa Theatre (1959), and Playhouse 90 (1958, 1960), The Outlaws (three episodes as Chad Burns), Batman as the villainous gunfighter Shame (1966, 1968), Falcon Crest (1983–84) as Dr. Michael Ranson, and The Lyon’s Den (2003). He had starring roles in episodes of both the 1960s and 1990s versions of The Outer Limits. He was awarded an Emmy for his leading role in an 1965 episode from Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre entitled “The Game”. His second appearance on Batman featured his wife, Dina Merrill.

In 1989, he narrated an AT&T promotional video documenting some of its technological improvements at the time. Incidentally, Robertson, who for ten years was a national TV spokesman for AT&T (which won him the Advertising Age award for best commercial), was to be the keynote speaker at an AT&T stockholders’ meeting during a strike by AT&T workers. Robertson refused to cross the picket line and did not speak at the meeting. In the same year he was a member of the jury at the 39th Berlin International Film Festival.^[8]
