Haha, I would've played 'post office' with Curly any day. :-* :P

In one of the Stooge episodes, the one where they had the famous heredity versus environment debate, Curly is asked to spell CAT, so he says," K-I-T-T-Y...pussy..." . That pretty much answers the question right there. If it was in any way suggestive, it was probably sexual if Curly was in on it !! ;D

I think he meant pussy cat. I have to agree with what Brent said in the other thread that most of these "sexual innuendos" are just coincidental and weren't really meant to suggest anything sexual. As with the "post office" comment, I honestly have no idea what game that is.

I do believe The Three Stooges occasionally had a PG-13 ish hidden streak in them, but not in this case. Cats were commonly referred to as "pussy" in those days. Heck, my grandmother, born in 1922, used to always say "Here pussy pussy" to my Aunt's cats every Christmas, and believe me, she was the last woman in the world who'd make a sex joke. Of course, the rest of my family would be biting our lips trying not to laugh as she was saying this, but the point is words had different meanings back then and can't always be taken in the modern context.
The joke here is the boys can't spell, so when they do spell the word correctly, they pronounce it differently.

I get the spelling aspect of the joke and realize that pussy is a term for, well, pussy ;D, but look at Curly's face when he says, " pussy...". I think you may not be giving them credit for that level of genius, of being able to slip in R rated jokes so cleverly that adults as well as young kids can read into each joke on their level and get an equally enjoyable experience from their respective levels of cognition. I think this, among many other great things, is what makes the Stooges so appealing to such a wide demographic, and for their historically long fame and appreciation by a worldwide fan base. [3stooges] Check out the title BOOBS IN ARMS, yes, boobs is an old term for silly, stupid person...but to say BOOBS IN ARMS can be construed to mean something sexual and comedic at the same time. Like I said, pure genius... [pie] ;D
