an oldie but a goodie

The unprofessional conduct of some plumbers at my workplace reminded me of an old film by the Three Stooges. I remembered from my youth that it was hilarious, but I hadn't remembered that there were several soaked clothes scenes until I watched it again.

From 1940 it's "A Plumbing We will Go."
In it we see a policeman getting a messy soaking in his uniform, Curly getting soaked in his suit, tie and cap, a cook getting soaked in his uniform in the kitchen, and Moe getting soaked in his shirt, suspenders and tie.
During the mid 20th Century Hollywood often used soaked clothes as a comic device. I suppose it was because in those days people wore more formal clothing than in modern times and laundry was more difficult to do.
