"My name's Samuel, OK!"

This  NZPA story looks at Michael Campbell's inability to get a free drop from a divot laiden catch basin and also offers this about his pro-am partner, Sam Samuel Jackson:

There were a few light-hearted moments, including at the first that Campbell and Jackson were playing as their 10th. One youngster holding a camera asked Jackson if he could have a photograph. Jackson responded: "I'm sorry, I don't have any photos on me."

However, Jackson took exception when one person called him Sam. "My name's Samuel, OK!," he said.

I guess no one told Mr. Jackson that it's friggin' cold in Scotland in October.
The poor guy looked so p*ssed off.

somewhere, the La Habra Art Department is laughing about the catch-basin part of this story!!

As a public service, I offer this clip from the Dave Chappelle Show. I will never think of Samuel Jackson the same way.
