      Moe: [about Larry] You know, he's the most intelligent imbecile I ever saw.

      Shemp: Hey! How about me?

      Moe: Oh you're much smarter. You're just an imbecile.

    Simply Hi-Larry-ous!
    FUELIN' AROUND is one of the funniest shorts I have ever seen. Larry is funny, especially since he's the most important stooge in the short. It's much better than it's remake HOT STUFF (1956).
