annathepiperBack from another globetrotting adventure, Indiana Jones checks his mail and discovers that his application for tenure has been denied. This is, in a word, hysterical. Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Date: 2006-10-27 03:50 pm (UTC)One of my old professors at Vassar, Walter Fairservis, was an archaeologist who had started his long, distinguished career by running away to India when he was nineteen. The rumor around campus was that Spielberg had phoned Fairservis while the script for the first Indiana Jones movie was being developed, and asked what Fairservis would bring with him if he had it to do over again. Fairservis is said to have answered that all he'd need was a hat and a gun. I heard versions of this rumor in which Fairservis would have brought a whip, and others in which Spielberg added the whip. I don't know if any of it is true, but people did call the old man Indy Fairservis behind his back ever after.
