Mrs. Krabappel invites Abe to come up front and "give someone else a chance to interrupt" over Bart's protests. "About time, knothead," Abe grumbles.
The storyteller comes in front of the class, and urges everybody to shut up.
Abe: Now, my story begins in 19-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" 'cause that Kaiser had stolen our word "twenty". I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles...
[children laughing]
Martin: "Dickety"? Highly dubious!
Abe: What're you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem!
[children laughing]
Abe: Now, I'd like to digress from my prepared remarks to discuss how I invented the terlet.
Mrs.K: "Terlet"? Hah!
[children laughing]
Abe: Stop your snickerin'! I spent three years on that terlet!
