Dear Tchoc, if you re-read my last post you'll see that I didn't take offence because I didn't really know what you'd meant (i.e. whether you were joking or not). And Linda, as I read her comments, was simply answering you. Just a little clarification.
Have Fun,
Diane
(Sorry, Linda, maybe you're mad as hell. Is that steam coming out of your ears, or have you forgotten to switch the kettle off?)

Like you Lizzy I was never hooked on the 3 stooges though I would like to pass on a story about Larry Fine (frizzy haired one). When Larry was about 3 years old he was down in the basement where his father had a hobby of cleaning jewlery. Larry reached up and pulled down a beaker of carbolic acid which spilled all down his arm. His father raced him to the local doctor. The doctor tried everything he could think of to save his arm which had total tissue lose. He told the Larry's mother and father that he would have to amputate. Larry's mother burst out crying and begged the doctor to help save their son's arm. The doctor of this small town had read of a new procedure about skin grafting and wrote the doctor who's research then was just experimental. This doctor spent years reconstructing little Larry's arm and durring this time he asked the father to keep the boys arm raised up for exercise and circulation. This is what the father did. He built Larry a very small violin. Larry was as it turned out a musical genius and at the age of I believe 9 he played at Carnige(sp) Hall. How he became a stooge I have no idea...
This all took place I'm guessing in the early 1900's.

!!! Next time I see the show on someone else's tv, I'll notice whether he always wore clothing to keep it covered up. Does he utilize his violin talents in any of the shows? Very caring and inventive father
