Homer: {Wait a minute...} there's one thing I don't understand. In
all those years, why didn't you ever try to contact me?
Grandma: But I did! I sent you a care package every week.
Homer: Aw, come on, Mom, we use that same line on the kids when
they're at camp.
Grandma: But I did, I really did! I'll prove it to you.
[they go to the post office]
Homer: Any undelivered mail for Homer J. Simpson?
Man: No. Oh wait, this. [lifts huge sack of parcels] That's what
happens when you don't tip your letter carrier at Christmas.
