References
- At the beginning of the story, Nelson says to Kearney, "So I sez to her, 'Mabel', I sez" and then interrupts himself when he notices that half of his French fries are missing.
- In the mid-20th century, the line "So I says to Mabel" was a catchphrase representing inconsequential conversation and was ubiquitous in popular culture. It is believed to have originated from the "Dere Mable" series by Edward Streeter.
- The line's appearance on The Simpsons may be an homage to {{w}Tex Avery}} (1908-1980), who inserted it into several of his cartoons.
Continuity
- The "Mabel" line also appears in the episode "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)".
