Joe Besser
"Moe and Larry – they were the best. I enjoyed every minute of it with them. In fact, to show you how wonderful they were, I never liked to be hit with anything. And Larry used to say to me ‘don’t worry Joe, I’ll take it.’ Now that’s the kind of guys they were."
From Stooges: The Men Behind the Mayhem, (DVD) Mackinac Media, 2004.
The null hypothesis is:
H0: "The average number of violent acts by Moe against Curly per episode is the same as the average number of violent acts by Moe against Joe."
