San Francisco = Springfield?

This humorous little anecdote arrived in our inbox yesterday from reader Joe:

About 8 years ago, my wife and I were on either the 14 or 49, going from the Mission to the Metreon to see a movie. I think it was a Sunday morning, because the bus was very empty – fewer than 20 passengers the whole trip. At the front of the bus was a mother and her developmentally disabled son. The entire trip, he was talking to himself – nothing crazy, really, just normal stuff. When they got to their stop, the kid turned to the entire bus and yelled, “So long, stink-town! That’s Homer Simpson!”

My wife and I just about fell over laughing – we had just seen the episode of the Simpsons in which Homer says that line.  I guess the kid had, too…
