Happy birthday to the moody one, the hopelessly average vaudevillian boy band singer who cracked jokes in desperation, to the dumb dutch boy ethnic characature who became a fast talking wise guy overnight after the lousitaniana sank, to the Hammer of The Cocoanuts, to Captain Geoffrey (or Jeffrey) T Spaulding who hunted Animal Crackers, to Quincy Adams Wagstaff, the new president of Huxley College, to Rufus T. Firefly, Fuhrer of Ruritania, to Otis B. Driftwood, the business manager for the wealthy Mrs. Claypool, to the stowaway who said Srotsopmi gnieb vo ouy gnisicca si nam sith!, to Hugo Z. Hackenbush, the veterinarian who is hired as chief of staff for the Standish Sanitarium, and to Emile J. Keck, Benjamin Linn, to Rock Hunter, to the excreble Peter Minuit, who conned the natives out of Manhatten Island, to the Jew who climbed a pile of rubble that marked the site of Adolf Hitlers bunker, the site of Hitlers death, and danced on Hitlers grave (a two-minute Charleston) and later remarked Not much satisfaction after he killed six million Jews!, to Ko-Ko, The Lord High Executioner of Titipu, to Julius Henry Marx: occupation - smuggler, to the man who asked the eternal question Whos buried in Grants Tomb?, to a gangster called God, for which its author Paul Krassner claimed he prepared for acting in the LSD-themed movie by taking a dose of the drug in Krassners company, and had a moving, largely pleasant experience, to the personal friend with such literary figures as T. S. Eliot and Carl Sandburg, and with rock stars Alice Cooper and Elton John accompanied Groucho to a performance of Jesus Christ Superstar where, as the lights went down, he called out, Does it have a happy ending? and during the Crucifixion scene declared, This is sure to offend the Jews! to the man who jokingly suggested his epitaph read: Excuse me, I cant stand up, Julius Henry Groucho Marx! youtube/watch?v=iVjM84NliCQ
