Sweeney Cabinet Minister Posts: 8 From:Oregon, IL,USA Registered: Sep 2000	posted 26 September 2000 12:09 PM Let me tell you other marxists what my favorite Groucho line is, it's in Duck Soup when he's trapped in the building calling for help. "Request help, 3 men and 1 woman trapped in building, if help is unavailable send 2 more women, 3 more women." I'm curious to know some of your favorites, please respond

My very favorite Groucho line is one that isn't repeated often. It's Groucho as Rufus T. Firefly in Duck Soup: "Why, my ancestors would rise from their graves, and I'd only have to bury them again."

(or something to that effect). Favorite true-life quote, "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
Dan Fahlgren Big Cheese Posts: 62 From:Villa Park, IL Registered:	posted 07 October 2000 11:04 AM I know this has been asked on one of the mailing lists, but where and when did Groucho say or write the "Outside of a dog..." line? I 've heard it ascribed to him many times, but I have never been able to find the original source. thanks. Hail Freedonia! Dan

To which Groucho replied, "Well, I love a good cigar, too, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while!"...HILARIOUS! [This message has been edited by srtallio (edited 17 November 2000).]
roger the saurus Cabinet Minister Posts: 7 From:Upper Cwmbran, Wales, U.K. Registered: Apr 00	posted 14 October 2000 05:02 PM One of my favourites is to Margaret Dumont "I can see you now, bent over the stove ... only I can't see the stove" I alos like his comment to Bob Dwan, producer of "You bet your life" "I have nothingbut confidence in you, and very little of that" There are lots of Groucho quotes on the Marx in Print website also.

He smiles and saids to Margret Dumont: Married. I can see you right now in the kitchen, bending over a hot stove, but I can't see the stove
