I can't remember what it was...
"Honk, Honk!"
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]The year was 1936, and Harpo was attending the [/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]premiere of "The Great Ziegfeld". While waiting to be [/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]introduced, Harpo said to the M.C., "[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]You gotta do the [/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]talking."[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow] They hadn't realized that the camera began [/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]rolling a bit early and this was recorded. Then Harpo is [/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]officially introduced and you hear him saying "[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]Honk, [/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]honk[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]".[/FONT]

[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]There is a great debate over this one. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]Harpo's 1964 farewell performance when he uttered, "[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]Now, as I was about to say in 1907[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]...." and went on and [/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]on and on....
