Headline Pittsburgh Tribune Review: Notebook: Littlefield still desires a right-handed bat

Dave Littlefield still hasn’t found what he’s looking for. I can’t help him in his search for a right-handed bat. The best I can do is point him to a left-handed moth.

Ravelli [Chico Marx]: Hey, Captain. It come to me like a flash! This painting wasn’t stolen. Ha! You know what happened? This painting, Captain, disappeared, and yes, it disappeared. And you know what make it disappear? You’ll never guess, Captain. What do you think-a make-a this painting disappear, huh? Moths! Moths eat it…Left-handed moths.

Captain Spaulding [Groucho Marx]: Go away. Go away. I’ll be all right in a minute. Left-handed moths ate the painting, eh?

Ravelli: Yeah, it’s a-my own solution.

Spaulding: I wish you were in it. Left-handed moths ate the painting. You know, I’d buy you a parachute if I thought it wouldn’t open.

Ravelli: Hey, I got pair-a shoes. (Spaulding cringes)

Spaulding: Come on, let’s go down and get the reward. We solved it, you solved it. The credit is all yours. The painting was eaten by a left-handed moth.
