Facts about
Near the beginning when Moe explains to the boys that they're working for the Census, Curly asks, "Will Hays?" This is an inside Hollywood joke as Curly must have thought Moe said "censors" who enforced the Hays Code, started by the first president of the Motion Picture Association of America, William Harrison Hays.
At one point in the short, Moe and Larry attempt to guess the age of the "lady having bridge party". Larry guesses 43 while Moe guesses 50. Averaged out, this is roughly 46.5, or forty-six years and six months old. By the time this was released in October of 1940, the actress playing the role, Symona Boniface, was just barely over forty six years and six months old.
The "litter of three" joke was more or less an "in-joke" dealing with the fact that Larry was the only one of the main three (Moe, Larry, Curly) who was not a Howard/Horowitz. Curly says he was one of the ones "kept" (being a Howard), while Larry says he was the one "they threw away" (not being a Howard).
