Poolside: The Female Half (l) and the Female Half’s Dad.

It’s Mort Sahl’s 80th birthday. AP says, “In college he majored in traffic engineering and city management but he gained fame by pioneering a form of standup comedy that opened the door for such comics as Lenny Bruce and Dick Gregory.” He shares a birthday with Salvador Dali and Phil Silvers.
