There used to be a saying, "First, kill all the lawyers..."
Now, I'm thinking the priorities of that adage are wrong.
Ever see the old Three Stooges chestnut
"Crime On Their Hands"?
The boys are reporters that the
femme fatale Bea, (Christine McIntyre), thinks are cops looking to bust a gang of jewel thieves.
When she finds out they're not cops but reporters, she gives them a huge triple slap and calls in the gang boss and his henchman and informs them not only are they reporters, but that Shemp swallowed a million-dollar stolen diamond.
Henchman "Muscles", (Cy Schindell), utters the immortal line...
"Lemme plug 'im boss, I love to rub out reporters!"
