GUESTS: Steve & Emma Kristal

John Hickam takes off his work jacket and hard hat, and notices Homer sitting at his desk.

“We’re shootin’ off a rocket today,” says Homer. “I thought you’d like to come see it.”

“I gotta catch up on some work,” says John.

“How come -” begins Homer, “How come you never have work when Jim plays football? You never miss a game.”

“What time are you gonna do it?” asks John.

“About four o’clock,” replies Homer.

“I can’t promise you–” begins John, when there’s a rumble through the building.

“Somebody pulled a pillar too close,” says John.
