My favorite Groucho story also involves Chico.

Once, when the Marx brothers were on the vaudeville circuit, they
were approached by a middle-aged couple who told them:  "We know
you boys are Jewish - why don't you come over to dinner tomorrow
night?" 

They agreed.  Later on that same day, Groucho and Chico were wandering
around town.  Suddenly they realized they were accross the street
from the couple's house.  They went over to investigate.  The couple
wasn't home, but their two pretty young daughters were.  One thing
led to another (with the Marx brothers it generally did so quickly)
and soon they were upstairs in bed with the daughters.

Unfortunately, the father came home and crashed the party, and Groucho
and Chico had to make a break for it out to the street, clothes in hand,
slamming the door after them.

Suddenly the door flew open and Chico ran in again, and shouted:

          "DOES THIS MEAN DINNER'S OFF TOMORROW NIGHT?!"

- slammed the door again, and ran down the street.



Harpo was once told to come to a party wearing a black tie.  He followed
the instructions perfectly.
