Happy 100th Birthday, Lucy: Lucille Ball's Chocolate Conveyor Belt Moment

• Even funnier, because it wasn't so madcap, was the episode with Harpo Marx when Lucy was dressed up as Harpo (for some reason) and tried to conceal the fact (for some reason) when she ran into him. So, naturally, she pretended she was Harpo's reflection in a full-length mirror. He picked up on it quickly and leaned this way and that. So did she. He lifted his hat off his head. So did she. He <i>dropped</i> the hat, and, natch, so did she. Unfortunately for Lucy, Harpo's hat was on a rubber string and bounced back into his hand! Maybe you had to be there, but anyone who ever saw <i>I Love Lucy</i> or one of her movies has to smile thinking about her talent and leggy grace.
