@jvolstad The correct quote is, "I don't drink water because fish do disgusting things in it." You couldn't say the f word on the radio and even today you can't.

The aversion to water at about 1:10 is a recurring gag in a lot of his movies, not only by him but also others in the cast. I read somewhere that WC once quipped as to why he didn't like to drink water..."Fish F--k in it"

WC Fields movies were usually played late at night on some obscure TV channel, probably UHF (I bet most don't even know what that is), before that days of cable TV. I watched while in bed, and had to contain my laughter so as not to wake up the wife and kids. That was impossible. The whole bed shook and so did the rest of the house, and I woke up everyone anyway. I've been watching a lot of his movie scenes on YouTube this weekend and my gut hurts from all the laughing. What a genius!

The greatness of this scene - which was perfected during his years in Vaudeville - lies not necessarily in its originality. It's the timing that is absolutely perfect. It's great that we are able to see such classic Vaudeville-acts. WC Field, Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Roscoe Arbuckle all honed their skills in Vaudeville, and through them this form of entertainment has not been completely forgotten.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
