Moe Howard's personally owned handwritten skit for The Three Stooges ''operation scene'', in which the Stooges play doctors. Signed multiple times throughout by Moe, referring to himself in character, skit runs three pages on two sheets. The first two pages have identical typed content entitled ''Gags & Bits for Operation Scene'', with the bottom of the second page beginning the handwritten content, with Moe writing in blue ballpoint pen, in part, ''Dr. What shall I do with this rectal thermometer - You wouldn't do it if I told you...'' The third page (composed on verso of second page) is handwritten by Moe in pencil, filling the entire sheet, in part, ''Last night I delivered a baby - To a Hollywood star, with a quirk / He acted so proud, but it was known by the crowd / That his stand-in did all the work...'' Likely composed by Moe in the 1960s, referring to ''Joe'' in the script. Sheets measures 8.5'' x 11'', stapled at top left. Light creasing, overall very good condition. From the Moe Howard estate.
