In the 1953 monologue, Griffith tells how he wondered through the woods and came upon a stadium (had to be Kenan at Chapel Hill) that he called a cow pasture. He said convicts in striped shirts ran up and down the field watching men hit each other and throw each other to the ground. Police stood by and watched the mayhem and did nothing, he said. And at one point, Griffith said, "I spilled my big orange drink,'' Griffith said.

The men appeared to be trying to run down the field avoiding stepping in cow droppings!! I recall that monologue too, they played it on the radio from time to time (Monitor Radio if I recall). No Time For Sergeants still breaks me up, particularly the "saluting" toilets in the latrine!!

My prayers for Andy to have some more good years.
