Literary Groucho


Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read! ---a pun often attributed to Groucho Marx.

visual humor, Groucho Marx joke glasses morphed to have dog nose
     There are no definitive sources attributing this to Groucho Marx.  There were also previous version using a horse instead of a dog. There are conflicting histories about the source online.  One source attributes the quote to Boys' Life magazine.

Haha, is this quote from you or Groucho Marx? Either way, it's a good one.

My previous response was in error. This quote is often wrongly attributed to Groucho, and it is in his style.
