Don’t change the color of your face! I’m out of umber.

I grew up with *M*A*S*H* reruns on TV. This just cracks me up and makes me think of all the reps who look to their environment to solve their problems rather then themselves. Post on Deadly Sales Habits coming soon. In the meantime, enjoy.

Charles: As I was saying, sir, I feel I could be more useful in Tokyo or even the states.
Col. Potter: Not to me, commissioner.
Charles: This meatball surgery of yours is causing my skills to deteriorate. They’re wasting away!
Col. Potter: Don’t change the color of your face! I’m out of umber.
Charles: And I’m out of patience! This place is driving me mad!
Col. Potter: Cool off, Winchester.
Charles: How can I cool off in this God forsaken pest hole.
Col. Potter: You’re here so get used to it!
Charles: You haven’t lifted a finger to get me transferred.
Col. Potter: That’s right and I don’t intend to.
Charles: I certainly think you ought to consider…!
Col. Potter: [shouting] Not again, Major! I’ve had enough of your beefing! I need you here and you’ll stay here like the rest of us! Here, your face is finished.
