Synopsis
Fred becomes a school bus driver on the Bedrock-to-Redrock route.
Teaser Sequence: As Fred is looking in the want ads, he says millions of opportunities for men with solid backgrounds. Wilma jokingly says carrying a large egg, "You're pretty solid in that department, all right". Fred says "I'm glad you're taking this seriously, Wilma. I hope you can still laugh on an empty stomach." Wilma says "It's just that I hate to see 13 years in the quarry go down the hole." Fred looks at a wanted ad for a person with long-tapering fingers to stuff cotton in little bottles, Apply, Bedrock Hospital. And he looks at another similar ad saying "Wanted: Person with long-tapering fingers--" and Wilma finishes saying "To take cotton out of little bottles." Fred says "Yeah, how did you know? Apply, Bedrock Hospital."
