Thanks for a chuckle.

This Bolton mess got me up and alert and upset in the first 10 minutes of waking. Not a way to wake up. The chuckle allowed a nice cup of tea.

Now back to the now constant crap.

Locusts, LOL!

Commonly, she was wooed by Groucho because of her wealth. But was also the butt of Groucho's insults.

Wikipedia gives good details about her role in the Marx Brothers' movies:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Dumont

Here they are in a re-enactment of a scene from Animal Crackers, a film they did 35 years earlier. This was televised just three days before Dumont died of a heart attack in 1965.

Groucho's daughter Melinda introduces the skit.

It's funny how just seeing Groucho makes me hear his voice in my head as I read the captions.

I think Groucho and Bugs Bunny are my two favorites when it comes to wise cracks.
