* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When Joyce confronts Lois about a prank the latter pulled on her as a teenager. This is understandable, considering how the action had no negative effect on Lois and that what she did was probably over 20 years ago and can be easily forgotten.

Joyce Kinney later features it in a news story. Lois is outraged and when confronts Joyce, she finds out it was in retaliation for a prank she pulled in High School, where Joyce was [[PanksPullingPrank pantsed in front of the student body]] with a hot dog shoved in her mouth. Joyce's last name is revealed to be Chevapravatdumrong (which is the last name of one of the writers on the show), but she changed it to Kinney, since she believed that the news will never let that on air. Lois then says that the prank was a long time ago and that she was sorry for what she did. Joyce scoffs and tells Lois to "go talk to a news reporter."
