    We were discussing joining groups and some of us have a revulsion for joining ANYTHING now, as I do and it reminded me of a quote from Groucho...but in finding that quote I found these and they are hysterical! " I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members. "

    I always loved the Marx Brothers... one of my favorite 'lines' was...

    " One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know. "

    I've watched several of their movies... if they had a rating system back when they were made... I think they would've gotten a bit more than a 'G' rating.

    Regards,

    Groucho was a true wit.

    Jack Benny was a funny funny guy too... a master of timing.

    Too bad these young kids only get Cris Rock, etc etc.

    He had a show on (black and white) T.V. back in the 50's called "I've got a secret", I think, and I loved watching it. He used to insult his contestants all the time on that show. It was really funny. I'll have to check out u-tube to see if anyone put any in there.

    Hint: That's the show that the duck would come down with the "secret word" and the contestant would win an extra $100 dollars.

    I LOVE THE MARX BROTHERS!!!

    I just discovered them recently...I had no idea what I was missing.

    "Duck Soup" is pure genius. When they started singing "We got guns, they got guns, all God's chillun got guns!" I thought I would die laughing. Sometimes I put it on just to watch that part. Over and over.

    Hubert,

    The old TV show was "You Bet Your Life". The sponsor was DeSoto "It's Delightful, it's Delovely, it's DeSoto" For the younger ones info the DeSoto was a car.

    Thanks, Gregor, for correcting me.

    That was a great show.

    The Desoto went out with the Studebaker and Kaiser. I still remember the high fins on the Desoto rear fenders. '56 maybe?

    Hey Hill, my son is a huge Marx Bro's fan. He's 21 now, but from the time he was about 10, he has been a fan. He started collecting the movies on DVD as a youth. Buying them with his own money, or asking for them for Christmas. He's got everything now.
