I was watching an educational show today, during which Moe accidentally shot a lawyers toupee (five times). The lawyer responded "I'll sue you for this!"
To which Moe responded " Oh, superstitious, eh?"
Anybody get the reference there?
First, welcome to the forum. I assume by "Moe" you mean "Moe Howard" of the 3 Stooges? Not sure what you mean by "educational show" in that case. Â 
Anyway, I did a search for "Jewish + superstition + toupee" and only came up with this.
Apparently there are some Jewish superstitions about toupees, but I'm not sure if this answers your question. Seems like a bit of stretch, but that's all I could find. Unless I'm missing some obvious wordplay by the script writers. Maybe another forum member will come up with a better answer.
Thanks for the reply.
The entire reference was confined to the lines I quoted, so I assume that it was something relevant to the period (late 1930's), or that the Stooges are way more clever than me. Could go either way.
It may have something to do with "sue-perstitious." Â If that's it, I still don't get it. Â Just a thought.
Got it! He yells tarantula! and they all jump in to kill the toupee .
There are lots of superstitions about killing spider; for one, it's unlucky to kill a spider because a spider spun a web over baby Jesus to hide him from Herod.
Is it an educational show? I had no knowledge about spider superstition before this.
