** As Joe points out to the Griffin kids, finding a wad of money doesn't mean it's automatically theirs. Instead, they must wait two weeks for someone to claim it before they can keep it if nobody comes forward.
** When Joe successfully catches the thief, he ends up breaking the man's spine in the process. Peter attempts to make a joke about Joe having to compete against him in the next Special Olympics, only for Joe to casually reveal that he's dead.
