My ultimate point is that his answer does not indicate that he doesn't have that. knowledge. It's a geography question. In the spur of the moment I may not be able to place a name with a city but I still could know a lot about it.

Just like Obama knew there were 50 states instead of 56 of them.

I agree with you. Like I said, I liked his explanation of it, and his honesty is something that clearly separates him from Trump and Hillary.

It is nice to see him admit mistakes unlike Hillary and her emails.

Aleppo Marx was in the early episodes. He disappeared like Richie Cunningham's brother, Chuck.

Poor Chuck, I hope Mr C didn't actually kill him but just disowned him for some reason.

Groucho: Now, eh, here is the main road leading out of Damascus ... that's the road I wish you were on. Now, over here on this site we're gonna build an eye and ear hospital. This is gonna be a site for sore eyes. You understand?

Aleppo: Thatsa fine.

Groucho: Now, right over here...this is the residential section.

Aleppo: Oh, people live there, eh?

Groucho: No, that's the stockyard. Now, all along here, this is the river front. And all along the river...all along the river, those are all levies.

Aleppo: That's the Jewish neighborhood? That’s HARAM!

Groucho: (pause) Well, we'll Passover that...You're a peach, boy. Now, here is a little peninsula, and, eh, here is a viaduct leading over to the mainland.

Aleppo: Why a duck?

Groucho: I'm alright, how are you? I say, here is a little peninsula, and here is a viaduct leading over to the mainland.

Aleppo: Alright, why a duck?

Groucho: (pause) I'm not playing "Ask Me Another," I say that's a viaduct.

Aleppo: Alright! Why a duck? Why that...why a duck? Why a no chicken?

Groucho: Well, I don't know why a no chicken; I'm a stranger here myself. All I know is that it's a viaduct. You try to cross over there a chicken and you'll find out why a duck.
