Comedian Joe Frisco (not related) was the famous stuttering comic of the
1920's and 30's. George Burns' favorite Joe Frisco story was thus: Joe and
George and a group of other comedians were standing on Broadway when a big
Bentley drove by with Kansas plates and a great assortment of big bugs and
small birds stuck to that massive grill. Joe says, "N-N-N-Nobody could
belong to THAT many c-c-car clubs!"
