S Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF THERE'S A BARTENDER in Miami Beach who likes to think he knows the recipe for every drink ever con cocted, but a customer finally stopped him cold. This was a man who had been splat tered by mud as he stepped out of an auto mobile, and enraged when he saw the havoc wreaked on his cream colored doeskin pants. He was angry still when he strode into the bar and demanded, "A double scotch, dammit, a whisk broom, and a hot wet towel." . "You'll have to mix it yourself,", said the bar tender regretfully. "That's a new one on me." Jack Benny, under the weather briefly at a Miami Beach hotel, summoned a local medico. "That stuff about my being 39 is just to make my TV audience laugh," confided Benny. "I'm really 49." "Funny," commented the doctor. "Your corpuscles are 64." Benny noted that the sen-ants at the hotel are particularly polite. "It's no wonder, though," added Jack.
