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 went insane and died 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. 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.

** Whereas Homer is already pretty stupid in his own right, here he takes it up to eleven by trying to get a newspaper out of a machine while juggling groceries, Maggie and Santa's Little Helper, causing his daughter to be trapped inside and having no way to get her out due to throwing all his other quarters on the the train tracks.
** Even more sensible characters get in on the idiocy: whereas Marge tries to get gum out of Lisa's hair by putting a variety of ineffective foods in it (even at one point smearing mayonnaise on her and telling her to go sit out in the sun), Principal Skinner, who keep in mind is a ''Mensa'' member, burns the meal that he was making for Superintendent Chalmers and instead of manning up and admitting to what happened, makes up an outlandish story involving calling grilled Krusty Burgers "steamed hams" and localized Aurora Borealis instead of just turning his oven off. Predictably, his home catches on fire.
