It is time to revisit Grouchoism

Groucho was on a plane. The Stewardess said, "Aren't you Groucho Marx?" To which he replied, "No, are you?"
 
There's a book of his letters to a studio, which are positively brilliant. And hilarious.

Forget the title, though.
 
"I didn't like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions - the curtain was up."
 
Rumor has it:

Groucho had a female contestant on his show, You Bet Your Life. Prior to playing the game Groucho would ask the contestant's a few personal questions. He asked a woman if she had any children and the woman replied that she and her husband have 10 children. In response to Groucho's exclamation, “Ten kids!” she said, “Yes my husband loves me very much.” Groucho said, “I love my cigar too but I take out out once in awhile.
 
"Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like bananas."


"Outside of a dog, a book is a mans best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."


"I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury."


"I was going to thrash them within an inch of their lives, but I didn't have a tape measure."
 
"I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."

"If I held you any closer I would be on the other side of you."

"Man does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him."

"Please accept my resignation. I don't care to belong to any club that will have me as a member."
 
I still love to get high and watch the Marx Bros. Come to think of it, I enjoyed the hell outta that last clip.

It's brilliant. Every now and again Channel 4 runs a Marx season, I always watch. And giggle like a loon. The writing is genius.
 
"Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know."
 
Chico owns my favorite:

"I wasn't kissing her. I was whispering in her mouth."

"While shooting elephants in Africa, I found the tusks very difficult to remove. But in Alabama, the Tuscaloosa."
 
I quoted it wrong!!!!

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