Gorham Makes Marx On World
With everything going on in the world, I needed some silly news. Thankfully, Maine was willing to comply.
GORHAM — Forgive some young Australian rugby players if they’re having a bad day. Their coveted world record apparently has fallen. The new record setters - all 1,489 of them - gathered Sunday, on the final afternoon of an annual summer festival, in front of Town Hall in Gorham. When an official gave the word over the public-address system, everybody put on their Groucho Marx disguises, each one complete with trademark glasses, oversized nose, eyebrows and mustache.
That’s right, the people who showed up in Gorham now unofficially own the Guinness World Record for the greatest number of Groucho Marx glasses worn in one place at the same time.
Evidence of the feat will be boxed up and shipped to Guinness headquarters in London for verification. [”Gorham makes Marx on world” (MaineToday.com)]
