Here we learn about technology:



Here we learn about processes:



Here we learn about teamwork and accomplishing goals through deliberate, brilliant, methodical work:



And here we learn about the importance of good communication and clear directions to our fellow co-workers:

Thanks for that light note midweek, Sarah.
Love the one about the bomb and running away from it.  When I was serving with Marines, a friend who was an explosive ordinance technician had a bumper sticker on his car:

E. O. T.
If you see me running, had had
you better catch up

I’m not sure how to embed utube things (which is probably just as well), but here is a wonderful Get Smart ending. A nice appearance by Barbara Bain, a grammar lesson from 99, and a reminder that Leonard Stern specifically intended that Smart not just be a stupid blunderer:

Here we learn about...well one of the favourite GS episodes of all time...Max and 99 v. The Sacred Cows. (BTW it’s rumoured that two of the Sacred Cows escaped and are now Episcopal bishops in California, but I can’t confirm that):

Toral1,

99 was a bit wrong, it wasn’t just “Whom do you report to?” but correctly put it should be “TO whom do you report?”

trivia:
Barbara Bain was one of the stars of another TV spy show, playing agent Cinnamon Carter—“Mission: Impossible”, for which she won three consecutive best dramatic actress Emmys. She later went on to star in “Space 1999” with fellow MI’er (and then husband) Martin Landau.
