Did you remember to set all of the clocks back?

• the DVD player (I no longer have a VCR,) the microwave, the automatic coffee pot in the kitchen?

If you’ve already done so, you can watch this and amuse yourself to learn that screenwriters Harry Ruby and Bert Kalmar were standing on the set one day when an extra standing next to them said, “I don’t know who wrote this stuff but they ought to be arrested…they should be in a different business.” Kalmer, who was known as a rational and calm man, said to Ruby, “I’m going over to hit him. Who does he think he is? He’s just an extra!” But before fisticuffs erupted, Kalmer and Ruby were informed that Chico Marx had paid the extra to rib the screenwriters, just for the hell of it.

Do you have friend running the NYC Marathon today?

Don’t forget to remind them that the first guy who ran one died at the finish line.
