    Since so many threads these days evolve into bathroom humor lets try an easy one:

    Who invented the toilet? Hint: it's not Thomas Crapper.


    How about a little harder one:

    In what famous full length film was the toilet's debut?

    Without googling, I'm going to guess "Psycho".
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    don't have that good of a memory!! But, this was in the one where they were in Egypt looking for a king's tomb or something like that.
    Somebody with more brain cells than me may come up with the answer.

    WAAAAAAA! I remember that one as a little kid. A classic, indeed, nap. :biggrin:

    One of my favorites also. I wish they had that quote built into the The Three Stooges pocket sound effects generator I bought a couple of years ago. :cool:

    Another short derail!

    You guys should remember this;

    Moe and Curly were sitting in a tree with buckskin outfits and Moe had a coonskin hat while Curly was wearing a skunk hat.

    Moe spots a deer;

    Moe; "Oh deer!!!"

    Curly; "Aw I didn't think you cared"

    Moe mad; "I DON'T" SLAP!
