Such are the times that it takes me a few months to read things that enter my reading queue.  I'm finally getting around to reading the article about scientists discovering the part of the brain that understands sarcasm, and upon reading the healine some months ago, it reminded me of the episode in which Lisa joins Mensa and the group takes over the town government:

Lisa: Now next week is our "state of the city" address. Has everyone finished their proposals.
Comic Book Guy: Well first of all I've a plan to eliminate obesity in women.
Lyndsey Nagle: Oh please, for a nickel-a-person tax increase we could build a theatre for shadow puppets.
Dr. Hibbert:   Balinese or Thai?
Lyndsey Nagle: Why not both, then everybody's happy.
Comic Book Guy: Oh yeah, everyone's real happy then.
Lyndsey Nagle: Do I detect a note of sarcasm?
Professor Frink: (With sarcasm detector) Are you kidding? This baby is off he charts mm-hai.
Comic Book Guy: A sarcasm detector, that's a real useful invention.
(Sarcasm detector explodes)
