This one goes out to all the knuckleheads out there. I know, the typical response to the Three Stooges is either “I Love them!” or “I hate them.”

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, here goes:

In the short, “Tassels in the Air” Moe and Larry are speaking Pig Latin. Curly…being Curly…is out of the loop and asks Moe what he’s saying. Here’s the exchange:

Moe: "That's pig Latin."
Larry: "Sure, anybody can understand it. It's very simple."
Curly: "Well I can't, and I'm simple."

Moe: "My name is Moe. In pig Latin, that's Oh-may."
Larry: "My name is Larry. Now, what's that in pig Latin?"
Curly (guessing): "Oh-may?"
Larry (annoyed): "It's Arry-lay."
Moe: "Boy, are you um-day."
Curly (excited): "Oh, you mean I'm um-day in pig language?"
Moe: "You're um-day in any language."

Moe: "Now I'll explain it so even you can understand it."
(Curly faces Moe, resting his head languidly on his hands. Moe slaps him.)

Moe: "Moe--Omay. Larry--Arry-lay. Curly--"
Curly: "Curly-cue!"
(Moe starts to chase Curly around the room.)
