A US Navy cruiser anchored in Mississippi
for a week's shore leave. The first evening, the ship's Captain
received the following note from the wife of a very wealthy and
influential plantation owner:
"Dear Captain, Thursday will be my daughter
Melinda's Debutante Ball. I would like you to send four well-mannered,
handsome, unmarried officers in their formal dress uniforms to attend
the dance.
They should arrive promptly at 8:00
PM prepared for an evening of polite Southern conversation. They should
be excellent dancers, as they will be the escorts of lovely refined
young ladies. One last point: No Jews please."
