Shemp punches himself?

I'm trying to recall a particular short, I believe it is with Shemp, where the following gag is introduced:

1. Moe tells a seated Shemp to rest his elbow on his knee, then rest his chin on his
hand (kinda like "The Thinker" sculpture)

2. Moe stomps on Shemp's foot

3. Shemp's involuntary reaction is to punch himself in the jaw!   

I remember being convulsed by this years ago, but I've been unable to remember which short the gag was in.  Now my sons (ages 10 and 12) are bugging me because they want to see the gag. Does anyone remember this?

Moe uses this routine on Larry in "Goof On The Roof," but where does he do it to Shemp? Honestly, I can't remember which short that's in... Stooge or BeAStooge, can you be of some help here?

The shorts in which this gag appears are listed in the 'Stooge Routines' section.

The only short not listed where Moe pulls this routine on Shemp is 'Cuckoo on a Choo Choo' (if my
memory serves me correctly).
