Remember the Three Stooges?
A classic of American vaudeville, the comedy trio of Moe, Curly and Larry delighted audiences from 1934 to 1946 with their peculiar brand of slapstick humor. Americans tuned in regularly to watch the over 90 short films the trio made for Columbia, which mainly consisted of them verbally and physically assaulting one another.
It might shock you to know that there were actually six stooges in all. The most popular stooges were the aforementioned Moe, Curly, and Larry, but the original group consisted of Ted Healy and the other three.
Even now, well into the aughts, everyone still knows who they are, or remembers an image of a pie being thrown in someone's face. The stooges were the height of American comedy. They changed the way comedians used their bodies forever.
Even more importantly, their images remained ingrained in the American psyche. There was Larry's curly hair, Curly's bald head and oversized hat, and Moe Howard's distinctive bowl cut.
One barber in Madison, Wisconsin, apparently, thought that Larry's haircut was the height of fashion, because he gave it to one unwitting client this week, much to the client's dismay.
Khaled A. Shabani, 46, was attending to a 22-year-old client's hair, but the client would not stop moving. Exasperated, Shabani delivered a verbal warning.
