I'm sure that there weren't Mexicans in the standoff. I think Marge was referring to the situation as a Mexican standoff, in which, no matter who shoots first, everyone dies.- B-101 15:44, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Joke

Could someone please explain why 'Our stamens are a Pistil' is funny (Yes, I know they are both parts of flowers)? Lisa finds it hilarious. smurrayinchester^{(User), (Talk), (Recent Contrib)} 08:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

• - I took this from this forum:

"Our Stamens are a Pistil" is a joke on an old-fashioned type of store-window sign: "Our [whatever they sell] are a pistol!". "Pistol", as in "gun", was a term that also means "huge success". The twist is that pistils and stamens are the sexual reproductive organs of flowers, and the sign is at a botanical gardens. Yes, the joke is oblique, obscure, and not really 'funny' (subject to 'the Dennis Miller ratio',) - but that's entirely the point: Lisa finds it humourous, and no one else is remotely interested."

I think this should be mentioned in the episode article since I don't think too many people would get that joke. -85.179.87.126 (talk) 19:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
