In 'The Cook', while taking an order, Buster notices some dust/powder on a woman's back and neck. To her annoyance he starts to dust her off. Am I reading too much into this.. but I think I know what that joke meant. Possibly :P
I've seen a similar joke elsewhere, but I can't think where. But it generally seems to mean that if a woman has dust on her she's er.. been on the shelf a long time?
If that is what was meant, that's quite a risque joke!
if that's the joke I think it's genius. But of course, from Arbuckle I wouldn't expect anything less (nor from Keaton for that matter)
"We've got lumps of it round the back."
I've just watched Limelight and the same joke is made by Chaplin in a dream sequence
"We've got lumps of it round the back."
If you watch that scene...he scratches his head and asks her if her scalp itches...for all the world...it just looks like she has a dandruff problem and he's 'ducting' off her dandruff and asks her if her scalp itches...
