Oh, there's a few gags that make me giggle, but that's about it. I even bought the DVD in an attempt to understand, but I can't sit through the whole thing without my mind wandering.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the Three Stooges are comedy gold. It might simply be a throwback to my childhood, but they still crack me up.

They just sat there and ad libbed. At one point, one of them picked up an urn with Chapman's ashes in it (I sure hope it was a prop), and dumped it all over the table. Side-splitting. You hadda been there.<BR/><BR/>But you're right: it's like the Bible.
