- Press, Press, Pull
The Stooges enter a private place saying that they’re from the press. Each walk by the front desk with a little button saying “Press.” Curly, with his usual brainy self, says, “Pull.” Curly’s button usually has some part of it still attached, as it was ripped off of something in the men’s room - Several things hidden in shirt
Curly has several things hidden inside his shirt. When Moe bops him on the head, however, all the things in his shirt fall out
