*** The answer is exactly the same. Widows in the U.S. do not typically change their courtesy titles upon the death of their husbands. They certainly have that option, but traditionally they keep the title "Mrs", to honor their deceased husband. They might use "Mrs" and her own name. Or she might even use "Mrs" and the husband's full name, well after his death. It's considered old-school and traditional but it's definitely not odd or an indication of denial.

*** You misunderstand. I'm not asking why she didn't reclaim her maiden name. I asked why she doesn't go by "Ms. Puff".

** Again, this show was written from a U.S. perspective. In the U.S. it is not odd at all for a widow to keep her deceased husband's name. Just because he's dead doesn't erase him from memory. Going a step further a lot of women keep their married names even after divorce and that's not considered strange either. They do this because their husband's name might carry weight in some circles, they don't want to confuse their children, or they just don't want the hassle of changing their name.

*** Regardless if it would be funny or not, [=SpongeBob=] wanted an answer. Maybe the gorilla said "You see the thing is that there's also a squirrel in my bag."

**** It would ruin the joke, which is that there's no rational explanation for the gorilla and his horse-giraffe thing to be underwater.

* When hearing [=SpongeBob=] ask "What's a gorilla doing underwater in the first place?", the gorilla explains "Uh, well, it, uh... It's funny, you should... I mean, you see, the..." before telling George that "they're onto them". Couldn't Gorilla take his time to explain clearly to [=SB=].
