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?
