70. The Stooges were great.

Their short subjects were regular fare on the local kiddie shows when I was little and I loved them to death. Still do, for that matter. They will always be funny, just like the Marx Brothers, though for different reasons. "The cheese, Moe, get the cheese!!"

I've only met one woman who truly liked the Stooges, and she grew up with six brothers.
