** The Simpsons consider staying in the Van Houtens' Airbnb, an idea Lisa doesn't like, imagining Milhouse bothering her while she tries to sleep. Bart then says he doesn't like the idea either because he doesn't want to be in a room where "guys walked around with their dinguses out." His conceptualization of this gets as far as a FeetFirstIntroduction before Marge disperses his thought balloon with her hands.
