I beg to differ Ray.  My source is "Son of Groucho" by Arthur Marx
(David Mckay Company New York 1972, Page 49)  The name of the club was
the Sands Point Bath and Sun Club.  Perhaps in the future before you comment
on the inaccuracy of a joke, you should do your homework and at LEAST offer
a different joke.  I apologize for taking up peoples time with this, but my
integrity as a keeper of meaningless facts on humor was at stake.

Now to follow my own advice:	When Arthur was young, Groucho took his family
to Europe.  When they came back they had to come through customs.  Very
few people recognized Groucho without his makeup.  When he went to fill out
his Declaration of Purchases Groucho wrote:

NAME:		Julius H. Marx
ADDRESS:	21 Lincoln Rd, Great Neck, Long Island
BORN:		Yes
HAIR:		Very little
OCCUPATION:	Smuggler
PURCHASES:	Wouldn't you like to know?

The Customs man who did not have a sense of humor, had all of their luggage
checked VERY carefully.  Mrs. Marx was NOT amused.
