The Pez Dispenser

…the show I was born with was called the “Harry Houdini and Keaton Medicine Show Company.” That was the great Harry Houdini, the handcuff king. That’s how he started out. And he gave me the name of Buster. I was 6 months old, in a little hotel we were living at in some town. I crawled out of the room, crawled to the head of the stairs, and fell down the whole flight of stairs. When I alit at the bottom and they saw that I was all right, I wasn’t hurt badly, they said, “It sure was a buster,” and the old man said, “That’s a good name for him.” I never lost the name. ~ Buster Keaton
