Selby's Shemozzle

After listening to a tape of Gary Gagg's best jokes, the problem arises that Gary is afraid to tell jokes in Bogusville because he thinks that everyone will hate him after his "killer joke." Gary's killer joke, according to Gary, was a joke which was unintended. Gary had meant to say the normal joke but his mouth, which seemed to have a "mind of its own," said a different punchline, ending in a killer joke and forcing Gary to play the joke on a tape and listen to it many times until he got used to the joke. However, Mrs Trifle asks Gary to tell the elephant and mouse joke which Gary has tried to improve, but with no success.

Later, Gary Gaggs tries to help Mrs Trifle record her speech about the closing of Bogusville hospital, which she has to broadcast via radio, while Selby tries to act like Gary and tells the elephant and mouse joke, but the joke turns into a killer joke. Later Selby records the joke and plays it over and over until he is tired of it, unaware that the tape was exactly the same one which Mrs Trifle recorded her speech on.

When the speech is broadcast on the radio, it turns out that the wrong side of the tape was played, the side which Selby recorded his joke on. The killer joke causes many minor injuries throughout Bogusville and in the end Bogusville hospital was not closed down due to "joke injuries."
