I love the episode that they showed last night/this morning with the insurance investigator. It was too funny

The scene in the office at the end is the my favorite part. Another great episode that involved the Joe-Brian relationship.

one thing I thought was kinda strange is that neither Joe nor Helen liked the idea of lying to the insurance agency, yet they both had no problems lying to the US Government to keep Antonio in the country. Aren't they both basically the same thing? (lying to the Government)

I guess the difference is that even though it was only to keep Antonio on the country, Helen really did marry him. Joe wasn't really injured. So yeah, both are scams, but one technically isn't.

I thought last night's ep was great too. I love the part when Joe says "I'm the good brother, he's the bad brother" and gestures an X over Brian.

I really like this episode too. The scene with Dr. Lenny is great.

Dr. Lenny: Do you suffer from dizzy spells?

Joe: No.

Dr. Lenny: Me either, I find them relaxing.

Makes me laugh every time......I also like when Helen makes fun of Brian, "I don't know what it's like to be in the real world, with the big cats."

Watching Steven Weber's reactions to the fake claims adjuster as she seduces him are very funny.

Arrgh! I missed it! The stupid vcr is hooked up to the tv with the cable box on it, and if you don't put the cable box on the right channel before you go to sleep...

Well, I had 30 minutes of something on Cartoon Network. At least I did tape "Noses Off" last night, so I can watch when I get home.

I was gonna say the other about the difference in the lies was that the insurance company lie involved money, and the immigration scam didn't.

Love,
