* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Was Superintendent Chalmers fooled by ''any'' of Skinner's lies? Or was he merely [[{{Troll}} going along with it for entertainment value?]] [[https://youtu.be/WTkpTEg5N_w?t=6m21s Writer Bill Oakley notes]] that Chalmers knows ''almost everyone'' in Springfield is crazy but avoids asking too many questions to in order to get by (unlike Frank Grimes, who couldn't let it go and simply went insane as a result). He may just be playing along at least partly because trying to make sense of Skinner's behaviour and unravelling his lies isn't worth the effort.

He may just be playing along at least partly because trying to make sense of Skinner's behaviour and unravelling his lies isn't worth the effort. At least one other writer has also mentioned that Chalmers is the closest thing to a regular person that would be able to survive and keep their sanity in Springfield, so Chalmers may be shielding himself from the insanity by going along with it but keeping his incredulous stance.
** Some have argued Chalmers may genuinely like Skinner's company, given the genuine curiosity about the blatant lie of the Northern Lights and his rather friendly goodbye. As crazy as Springfield may get, Chalmers may actually consider Skinner a friend and sometimes plays along not for trolling purposes but because he's genuinely amused.
