pros from dover

An American slang term for outside consultants who are brought into a business to troubleshoot and solve problems. The term comes from the 1968 book M*A*S*H by Richard Hooker. In the book, the character Hawkeye is described as using the guise of being the pro from Dover to obtain free entrance to golf courses:

"Hawkeye would walk confidently into a pro shop, smile, comment upon the nice condition of the course, explain that he was just passing through and that he was Joe, Dave or Jack Somebody, the pro from Dover. This resulted, about eight times out of ten, in an invitation to play for free. If forced into conversation, he became the pro from Dover, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey, England, Ohio, Delaware, Tennessee, or Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, whichever seemed safest."

Later on in the book, when Hawkeye and fellow surgeon Trapper are called from Korea to Tokyo to perform surgery on a congressman's son, the following exchange takes place:

"'All right,' Trapper said. 'Somebody trot out the latest pictures of this kid with the shell fragment in his chest.'
No one moved.
'Snap it up!' yelled Hawkeye. 'We're the pros from Dover, and the last pictures we saw must be forty-eight hours old by now.'"

This latter exchange is repeated in the 1970 movie, but the term pros from Dover is not explained in the script. People who had seen the movie, but not read the book, started using the phrase to mean outside experts/consultants without understanding that Hawkeye was using the term facetiously, referring to an old con he used to run.

"Look, mother, I want to go to work in one hour. We are the Pros from Dover and we figure to crack this kid's chest and get out to golf course before it gets dark. So you go find the gas-passer and you have him pre-medicate this patient. Then bring me the latest pictures on him. The ones we saw must be 48 hours old by now. Then call the kitchen and have them rustle us up some lunch. Ham and eggs will all right. Steak would be even better. And then give me at least ONE nurse who knows how to work in close without getting her tits in my way."

Dover high school

Dover high school is a school in dover nj. Most of the time students spend their time in ISS, when they arent they are usually being dicked around by the midget vice principal. Its very easy to get in trouble here, all you have to do is have an opinion and prove a teacher wrong and they slap you with something ridiculous. the school drug councilor is a nice guy, but he seams to like lying to kids so they wont do drugs. in a few cases he even told student that marijuana is deadly, and marinol is the only way to get medical marijuana in california, he should deff do some research before he pulls the "drugs are bad, mkay?" card . the school has its awesome english teachers and its over patriotic shiny headed PE babysitters. everyone in this school loves drama, and if you tell someone your business then expect to see it all over facebook within a few hours. in the bright side, the lunch is amazing. you actually have choices. but thats where it ends. 99.3 percent of students in dover high end up dropping out. its not the kids fault either.

Dover High School

A school run by broken spirited administration and teachers. Where students are encouraged to use their cell phones during school, fight, and bad behavior. A breeding ground for trash, losers, and thugs. The only few students who achieve in this school escape from this by taking Honors and Advance Placement classes. The only thing worth acknowledging at Dover High School is the highly decorated Air Force Junior ROTC.

Dover Sherborn High School

Dvr Sherbrn is full of white people who own minorities, cars, and multiple houses. The Upperclassmen buy shitty drugs and pay shit ton son money for them thinking they're hot shit, they sell it to underclassmen and can afford to because their Dad's own companies. DON'T go to DS if your family income is under 800,000$ or if your not smart, because if you do you will get silently bullied and talked about behind your back, but nobody will confront you because the school is full of pussies. The girls put the hottest (best life) edited traveling bikini photos on insta and get high, put pictures of boys, emoji covered beers, they're eyes, and dab pens on vsco, and think they're edgy as fuck, wearing their 500$ jeans that they bought with daddy's credit card, and fit into by being anorexic, bulimic, or doing coke. The boys play lacrosse and generally have small dicks so they overcompensate by flexing material items or athletic skill that they use to play D3 lacrosse at a school they got into because they got tutored and their Dad donates a fuck ton of money to the school. The adults have perfect lives but feel empty so they constantly get plastered and so do their kids for the same reason. It's just a matter of time until a kid at DS dies from drinking or suicide. Everyone at DS puts on this show that they're better than everyone because of the school's college acceptance rate or the positive atmosphere, but DS is just as shitty as everywhere else.
