Had a colleague pose the following question about the origin of the Marx Brothers' joke about Tuscaloosa (where I reside): >wondered if you knew >anything about the origin of Groucho's "Tusks-a-looser" joke from >"Animal Crackers." I seem to remember reading that the Bros. performed >here back in '27 (or thereabouts), which might explain where they >picked up on the name, but I can't find the source. Any thoughts?
