Did Abbott and Costello do the one where if one says "Niagara Falls" it really sets the other one off?

I have not seen that for years, but I use the reference sometimes. You know how there are certain things that you must never say in front of certain people or it will set them off on a tangent or worse yet, a tirade.

Something you may mention in a completely different context, but it triggers that "Niagara Falls" reaction so you learn to be more careful -- or not.

Anyway, did Abbott and Costello originate "Niagara Falls."

I guess most people have a "Niagara Falls" reaction to something.
