Frank Frisch, manager of the Pirates, lived in nearby New Rochelle. Neither the Pirates nor the Giants were very good that season, the game was meaningless, and one team got a big lead. At that point, Mr. Frisch came out of the dugout to plead with Mr. Conlan: I want you to throw me out of this ball game. You know my house up in New Rochelle, Jock. Its a lovely place. Its got trees and green grass and beautiful flowers. And Ive got a nice little keg of Schlitz, all iced up, sitting down in the cellar. Jock, this ball club is driving me insane. I cant stand watching these .220 hitters any more. And its hot. Its too hot. Jock, throw me out of this game. Let me go home. Mr. Conlan replied, Frank, youre right. It is hot. Its terrible. This isnt much of a ball game. But youre sitting over there in the dugout in the shade next to the water cooler. Im standing out here in the sun in a dark blue suit, in a mask and shin guards and a chest protector. Im dying up here. And youre going to die with me. If you think Im going to throw you out, youre crazy. Go back and suffer. 2) Lou Costello of Abbott and Costello fame was a master at getting perks from his movie studio, Universal Pictures. Deanna Durbin was the star actress on the movie production lot, and she had a trailer that served as her dressing room; therefore, Mr. Costello wanted trailers for him and for his partner, Bud Abbott. After making his pitch for the trailers to a Universal executiveand having his request turned downMr. Costello said that he would be reasonable, and he would show up for work on time, and he would know his lines. He paused, and then added, But I dont know how funny Ill be. He and his partner each got a trailer. By the way, Mr. Costello enjoyed gambling, although he lost a lot of money that way. Once, he bet 50,000 on a horse that had a big lead. Mr. Costello turned to a friend, smiled, and then said, The only way my horse can lose is if it stumbles and falls down. The horse stumbled, fell downand lost. Also by the way, Mr. Abbott and Mr. Costello once gave the gift of a suitcase to their movie director, Arthur Lubin, a very dignified man. As they gave it to him, the suitcase fell open, and hundreds of condoms fell out. 3) Winston Churchill made many speeches. Before addressing an audience in the United States, a woman asked him how it felt to have his speeches so well attended. Sir Winston replied, Its quite flattering, but whenever I feel this way I always remember that if instead of making a political speech I was being hanged, the crowd would be twice as big.</p>...9781476182735_David Brucelibro_electonico_cbdc1ca2-d2e2-4fd2-9d83-9494e5407100_9781476182735;9781476182735_9781476182735David BruceInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/smashwords-epub-2e29034c-b173-46d7-811f-a44e80479953.epub2012-07-30T00:00:00+00:00David Bruce
