Curtis (not his real name) was a freaky dude, we'll see if his bang-for-buck ratio pays off...

He sounds like the crazy guy Buster Keaton used to have on the payroll whose only job was to occasionally pipe up with suggestions like “it’d be hilarious to have a building facade fall down around you but you’re saved because the window frame is exactly your size”

Is this true? Amazing. If anyone else knows this factoid, it is J.K. Gillis who started this thread, you two need to meet...

The gag was devised by Keaton’s partner and co-director Clyde Bruckman. I don’t think he had anybody else around him at the time. But Buster was already into early alcoholism, so the crazier the ideas, the better. Says JK Ghillis.
