Wow!  I wish I could go to that!  I've wanted to meet Ms. Booth for so long.  I know she made a few appearances at the annual Stooges Meetings, but I was unable to go.

Wasn't Lorna Gray the actress who played Sherry, the uncontrollable wife? I read somewhere that during the filming of the food fight, she actually was gagging for breath due to an open-mouth hit which forced the material down her throat and she started choking. If you look at the short, it is a verrrrrry quick cut after the hit and you see her face registering surprise and fear.

Please lemme know what ya think.

A long-standing, exaggerated tale.

Per Adrian Booth (aka "Lorna") herself, the look was nothing more than surprise over how accurate & effective the throw was, even after Jules told her what the scene was and what to expect.  She didn't choke... just spit it out, and filming resumed.
