They find out that smoking is illegal in Irish pubs and Moe urges the Simpsons to turn it into a smokeasy. They do a roaring trade, but are closed down by the Irish authorities. As a punishment, Homer and Grampa are deported back to America with a small fine. After the Judge remarks that America is the place where Irish send their idiots and half wits, Clancy Wiggum makes a cameo scene as his usual incompetent stupid self.
