Plot

While watching a very late episode of The Three Stooges, the Simpsons feel the ground shaking. They discover an airplane flying dangerously close to their house. They soon realize that the air traffic must have been redirected. Homer and Marge complain to an airport official, who says that the planes were redirected away from wildlife preserves to protect the animals; whereas, actually, they were redirected by the request of Mayor Quimby, so that he could entertain his lady friends in peace and quiet. Naturally this leads to Krusty entering politics.
“Without those noisy planes, I can finally hear my kitten purr.”
