Most, if not all, of us have seen this famous photograph (or a variation of it):
Here is the original in color:
I wonder what is the story behind this pic?

You can read about it here:

A reporter was trying to take his photo on the event of his 72nd birthday. He stuck out his tongue before turning his head but the reporter was too fast for him and got the tongue shot anyway. |

I once saw Shelly Winters on "The Tonight Show" where she told a story about Marilyn Monroe when they roomed together. They used to go their separate ways on weekends, M.M. was fascinated with smart men and tended to gravitate to them on the weekends.
Shelly Winters said that she came home one Sunday, and there was an autographed photo of Albert Einstein on the mantle, reading: To Marilyn, thank you for a wonderful weekend.
Shelly Winters said that she never had the guts to ask about the photo.

Here's what I heard.
The guy on the right said, "Albert, if you can touch your tongue to your chin, you can get a date with Marilyn Monroe!"
And the rest . . . is history.
