G is For... Groucho Marx

I may have mentioned this before but I am a big Marx Brothers fan - particularly Groucho, his character names and his assortment of insults that just roll off his tongue.

So I thought that for the letter 'G' I would present you with some of my favourite Groucho Marx film quotes.

Enjoy!

Rufus T. Firefly: No wonder he passed away.

Mrs Teasdale: I held him in my arms and kissed him.
