Many Laurels and Hardys
“I sit in the lobby and I watch people. I like to watch people. Once in a while someone will ask me where Stan and I dreamed up the characters we play in the movies. They seem to think that these two fellows aren’t like anybody else. I know they’re dumber than anyone else, but there are plenty of Laurels and Hardys in the world. Whenever I travel, I still am in the habit of sitting in the lobby and watching the people walk by — and I tell you I see many Laurels and Hardys.”
— Oliver Hardy, interviewed for Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy (1961)
