Capt. Shafer: Miss Hale, didn't you tell me that we had a request for a dentist at our Greenland base?
Miss Hale: No, sir. I think you made that up, sir.
Capt. Shafer: You're right, I did. Now, I want you to cut orders assigning Dr. Blair overseas.
Miss Hale: Where overseas, Sir?
Capt. Shafer: Pick someplace! Wait a minute! . . . Guam! Yes, that would be a good place for our millionaire playboy to spend the winter, don't you think so, Doctor?
(from the Hennessey TV program)
Interestingly, I once worked for a man who had been stationed on Guam, and from what he said, that would be exactly the place to take the wind out of the sails of a high-life sort.
