Twilight Zone when the show goes back to modern times and the soldiers look at the monument and see the names of the soldiers who went back in time and died.
The officer states: "If only they brought the tank with them!"

WOW, Look at the hill in the backround!! You know, I noticed that! It looks like the 15th fairway behind my place in sunny, downtown Florida. |

Fred gets so used to playing in terrain like that pictured that he thinks it IS the fairway. Most of Fred's fairways are either very sandy, or very wet, and some feature alligators eating ducks.
He's like me - I played golf for years before I discovered that there were parts of the courses without trees, water and pits filled with sand.

Golf! Please! The best way I know how to screw up a good walk.

Actually, the last time I played golf was on the Torrejon U.S. Air Force base outside of sunny, downtown Madrid. I was on the 5th hole and it was about 190 degrees out. Why? The Catholic Church has a much better definition of "self-abuse."

Did you shoot less than the temperature?

Yep, this was from the eopisode on the Twilight Zone. From the time I saw that show as a kid, until I finally got to go the battlefield, I always wondered if they used real soldiers names or if the monument was made up, and of course as you can see in the picture, this monument was no where near the Little Bighorn! More like a back lot at MGM in Culver City.

But it did have its points. If I remember, the script mentioned the lone tepee, and I think the tank crew even passed it.

And-- who'd-a-thought!? That of the three/four man tank crew, they just happened to have the ONE GUY in the WHOLE army that was a 'Custer Expert'! Well, maybe that was for the benefit of us kids who at that time (quiet unlike now?) didn't know EXACTLY what happened. I loved it! BTW that episode was on TV a couple of weeks ago.

His Dagger Is Droopy [Umatilla]:
My favorite was the one starring Nehemiah Persoff as a man who is doomed to be continually torpedoed while on a passenger steamer, after trying to warn the people and ship's crew of a German U Boat "out there in the fog" or words to that effect. If memory serves, it turns out he was a U Boat captain who had sunk such a ship, and this was his personal hell.
Not only did I see this episode on TV [I'm pretty sure, anyway], but it was in a Twilight Zone collection of stories by Rod Serling which I used to read at "pot parties" in the early 70s. Believe it or not, this type of s--t was popular in the crowd I hung with. Winnie the Pooh was big, too. People seemed to like the way I read stuff. As I used to say: "Verrrrrrrrry strange."
