Check out the heroin gags in Lloyd's "Get Out and Get Under" and Chaplin's "Easy Street."

Is "Easy Street" the "contraband in the salt shaker" gag? Whatever they were smuggling into prisons back then......

No, that's MODERN TIMES, and the contraband is cocaine mistaken as either salt or sugar. That was filmed in 1936, and I'm surprised they got away with it. VERY funny scene. I think you can see that on youtube. I'll post it tonight when I'm at home.

Speaking of middle finger, did anyone else notice that Curly sticks his middle finger up in "Disorder In The Court" during the part where he's chewing the gum? I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but that part always shocked me. I noticed this since I was a kid when I first saw that short.

Never thought much of it, till I found out what the finger means. Just like the girls playing "bra-less" basketball in "Violent is the Word for Curly" that I ignored until I hit puberty! (wish they would have finished that song, tho.....)
Metaldams, thanks for the cokey Chaplin!
