Groucho Marx on the Secret of Life
"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made." -Groucho Marx-




He is the most underrated philosopher of the 20th Century

1. There was a one hour bio story on him on NYs Eve. The hour before him was about Jack Benny
Two of the laughingest hours I have spent in years...

4. I LOVED that quiz show
It was forbidden territory when I was a little kid. One of my favorite exchanges was with a guy who had like ten kids:

Groucho: Ten children! How do you explain this?
Man: I love my wife.
Groucho : I love my cigar, but I take it out every once in awhile. (eyebrows)

5. OK, here's one of the true jewels I've found on the Intertubes....
.
No Groucho, but tons of Jack Benny and thousands of other old-time radio
shows that you can stream for free (my favorites being Gunsmoke and Philip
Marlowe and Jack Benny -- but I listen to many).
.
. www.otr.net
.
. I hope you spend a fraction of the enjoyable hours I've spent at
that site.

7. Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend, inside of a dog, it's too dark to read
