Sam: Oh, yeah, great. I like the Three Stooges. That helps a lot.
Rebecca: Wait a minute, Sam. Think about this. Do women like the Three Stooges?
Sam: No, they hate them.
Rebecca: All right. Are women impressed that you like the Three Stooges?
Sam: No, some of them even think they’re stupid.
Rebecca: When you’re watching the Three Stooges, do you think they’re sexy?
Sam: No, when you watch the Three Stooges, nobody has time to think about sex or women. Hey, wait a minute. That means I do have another interest in my life. I like the Stooges for themselves. Hey, whoa, I’m okay. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!
Shemp was first. He quit and curly joined. After Curly’s stroke, Shemp returned.

They began in vaudeville as foils - or stooges - for Ted Healy, who was once the highest paid performer in vaudeville. Along with Healy, the original team consisted of Moe, Larry, and Shemp. They were billed at various times as “Ted Healy and his Racketeers”, “Ted Healy and his Southern Gentlemen”, and “Ted Healy and his Stooges.” Shemp left to pursue a solo career in films and was replaced by his brother Jerome, who was billed as Curly. Fed up with Healy’s drinking and being underpaid, the boys parted ways with him, signed a contract with Columbia Studios, and the rest is history. Ted Healy died shortly afterward from injuries sustained in a bar fight (although there are various theories about what actually happened.) Today, The Three Stooges are as popular as ever, while Ted Healy is pretty much forgotten.

Curly chooses burning. Moe asks why...
Curly replies, “I’d rather have a hot stake than a cold chop!”
