Groucho Marx and Samuel Goldwyn

[kairos12]

For years when Hollywood producer Samuel Goldwyn walked by Groucho Marx he would ask "How's Harpo?" Groucho accepted this for a while as just a quirk.

Eventually Groucho tired of this and in angry voice and asked Goldwyn, "why are you always asking about Harpo, you never ask How I am."

Goldwyn stopped and said, "I'm sorry Groucho how are you?"

Groucho said, "I'm fine, Sam. Thanks for asking."

Goldwyn then said: "And how's Harpo?"

Not too often anybody got the better of Groucho.
