'What Would Mr. Roberts Do?'

Mr. Roberts would apply for combat duty, so he could do his part to fight evil.

And Mr Roberts would tell Ensign Pulver to make sure to put marbles in the captain's overhead.

BTW: "Mister Roberts" was a wonderful movie and earlier a stage play about life aboard a US cargo ship in the Pacific theater during WWII.. It starred Henry Fonda, Jack Lemmon and James Cagney.

"All right... who did it??? who did it??? You are going to stand there sweating at those battle stations until someone confesses!!! The symbol of this ships cargo record has been destroyed and we are going to find out who did it if it takes all night!!!"

Absolutely great movie. Made in about 1955. Rent a copy if you've never seen it. No battles or gunfights, just a great movie.
