From the back cover...
"Hey Moe! Hey Larry! Hey Pablo! That's right. Pablo. It's finally time for us to acknowledge the enormous debt we owe to the universal genius of The Three Stooges. To honor the great figures of the twentieth century... such as Picasso, Freud, Lennon, McCartney, the Pope, Richard Milhous Nixon... by placing them in the company of their even greater mentors. Yes, the time has come to expose the horrendous coverup that has labeled the Stooges merely players, not innovators. The time has come to give Curly, Larry and Moe their rightful position in all our history books. The time has come to reveal what we all have somehow always senses... that the only logical explanation for this twentieth century world of ours is... The Three Stooges! And this book does it.
Who but the Stooges first came up with the idea of bumbling plumbers so inept they could tape the Watergate doorlock backwards... twice! Oh, that copycat Nixon. Who but the Stooges could have translated Freud to the masses, spreading his gospel through living example, personifying the wacky id (Curly, of course), the middle-of-the-road ego (that Larry), and the ever-restraining superego (oh, that Moe!). What self-sacrifice! Could we truly understand the great Freud's theories without the Stooges? We think not. Where did the Beatles get those haircuts? Think about it. Vietnam. Gerald Ford. Professional wrestling. It's all here, scientifically proven. With pictures? Soitenly!"
