  • Considering the protagonist of "Trapped In The Drive-Thru" is more banal than zany, what's he doing driving a car while wearing bunny slippers?
    • Just in case.
    • Or he is so dull and lazy that he immediately puts on bunny slippers when he gets home and didn't feel like taking them off.
  • Why does "Dare to Be Stupid" have the line: "You can eat a bunch of sushi and forget to leave a tip?" That would be rude, to be certain, but not really stupid.
    • Because next time you go in there, they might just remember you as a bad tipper, and not be quite so careful to give you fresh sushi, I'm guessing.
    • It could also be that the stupid part isn't the lack of a tip itself but instead the "forgetting" part.
    • Actually, in Japanese culture the rude thing to do is to leave a tip, for some reason. So it actually becomes smart once you know this. It seems to me that Al was just writing the lyrics off the top of his head for the sake of funny.
