Margaret Dumont as Mrs. Upjohn raves about Groucho Marx as Dr. Hackenbush in the film A Day at the Races.

“I’m going to someone who understands me, I’m going to Dr. Hackenbush! Why, I didn’t know there was a thing the matter with me until I met him.

And later, when being asked about his medical credentials…

Dr. Hackenbush: Oh, well, uh, to begin with I took four years at Vassar.

Mrs. Upjohn: Vassar? But that’s a girl’s college

Dr. Hackenbush: I found that out the third year. I’d be there yet, but I went out for the swimming team.
