   I don’t think she cares if you’re looking forward to it, because she most assuredly is!

   Women (and some men) want to be her; men (and some women) want to be with her.

   The real trick is to fart at the appropriate time.

   Not entirely. Harold did most of his own stunts but on a film like “Safety Last” and others where the stunts were too extreme, he used a regular stunt double named Harvey Parry. It was a matter of insurance.

   In the particular case of this film, “Safety Last” they used an actual “human fly” for the long shots of the man climbing up the building. Other shots used Harold Lloyd’s longtime stunt double, Harvey Parry. For close-ups using Harold Lloyd himself, and to give the illusion of height they built a two and a half story set on top of a 14 story building (back from the edge) and put mattresses on the roof top in case someone fell. That gave them the perspective of being as high as they were, but with limited risk. The most interesting part might be that Harold Lloyd was missing the thumb and forefinger, and part of another finger on his right hand after an accident with what was supposed to have been a harmless prop bomb in 1919. He wore a special glove to hide it. All the details can be found in the series “Hollywood: A Celebration of the American Silent Film”, episode 5, “Hazards of the Game”. It’s available on YouTube

   Well, not THAT disease anyway. There are several other diseases that she could spread.

   Yes, but super spreading what?

    But since those are antlers, not horns, the only thing I’m worried about is the possibility that they might poke me in an uncomfortable location.
