Carl Reiner, age 96, is urging us to vote. This comedian served in WWII in the signal Corps. They sent him to Georgetown for ten months to study French - then sent him to Hawaii. Fast forward thirty years - USL had an opening in LeHavre, France. Our Exec asked an intern if he studied any French in school - the lad answered he had four years of Spanish. Exec said to get your ass over to Berlitz for a crash course in French. Two weeks later upon his return and no action he inquired about the billet. He was told that Carl N. was in jail in Jacksonville and he would have to replace him. Merci! I'm sure the French have a phrase for this.
