Brad
and I paid a special visit to the grave of the funniest member of the Three
Stooges
curly Howard (born Jerome Horwitz)
Curly, along with brother shemp, is interred in a Jewish Cemetery on Whittier Blvd, in an interesting section of East Los Angeles.
On curly's grave, you can see fans have spelled out 'Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk' in pennies on his grave. Another fan left 2 spoons, all true fans would know of Curly's love for playing the spoons.
In
tribute, Brad and I left a cup of Ice, from one of our favorite shorts where
Curly plays the iceman, delivering blocks of ice from a horse drawn
carriage. One of his customers lives up 5 flights of stairs and by
the time Curly arrives at the top of the stairs with the ice block he finds his
ice tongs now hold
only an ice
cube. Pretty funny, huh?
