I once shot an elephant in my pajamas.

How he got in my pajamas, I'll never know.

Either them or W.C.Fields,

in heaven.

As I understand it, the Marx Brothers did a traveling vaudeville show and tested material on the audiences.

They had a strategy: Bits that got laughs made it into their movie scripts.

Now, in my humble opinion, their later movies were mostly unfunny. I think they stopped developing material in this way as their movie careers advanced. I wonder if they got lazy, over popular or just plain deluded by success.
