From the Hackenthorpe Book of Lies, 1963 edition:

Did you know ....

In the script for the 1941 film "Citizen Kane", the sled, "Rosebud", was originally named "Mr. Sled". Some felt that this eliminated some of the film's suspense and intrigue. However, during screenings for Hollywood liberals, many of them jumped up from their seats yelling "I figured it out - Mr. Sled was the Sled!"

Alfred Hitchcock 1963 movie "The Birds" was originally titled "The cows" and was to be done with ponies dressed as (you might have guessed) cows. After only one day of shooting in the can it was apparent the ponies' poo just was too much to take. Alfred Hitchcock was quoted as saying, "We changed to birds sure they poo but you can wipe it off.
