*This episode is revealed that Homer wanted to be a policeman because he was too dumb, which is ironic since A: Chief Wiggum is an idiot like himself and B: ten seasons later Homer became a police officer and did a better job than Chief Wiggum. It is also revealed he wanted to join the army but was too heavy, when in [[G.I. (Annoyed Grunt)]], he tries to join the army, but it is his stupidity that is keeping him from succeeding. Interestingly, in [[Two Dozen and One Greyhounds]], it was revealed that Homer was in the Army prior to marrying Marge.

* This is one of two episodes in Season 3 to have Lisa acting indifferent to a Bart's service, first in [[When Flanders Failed]], in which he gets beaten up by bullies in exchange of her saxophone. In that episode, his boastfulness about understanding karate caught up with him, and Lisa remarks he ironically got what he deserved. In this episode, Bart undeservedly assumes guilt for one of Lisa's misdeeds, yet she does not so much as thank him for taking the rap.
