* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Joe gets his job as a police officer back at the end of the episode. When Quagmire asks how he did it, Joe remarks “Turns out not a lot of people want to probably get shot for $24,000 a year.” The average salary for a police officer in the United States when this episode aired was around $50,000. Not to mention that Joe is a lieutenant so he likely makes a fair deal more than many police officers.
