Here's that moment from The Simpsons:
I've noticed there's actually some debate about this.
Some people think the intended joke is that Homer is reminiscing on what literally just happened a moment ago, acting as if Scorpio saying goodbye to the moccasins was a distant memory. In other words, he's reacting to Scorpio's question in a very idiosyncratic, Homeric way.
Others believe the joke is about how, at some point in the past, Homer witnessed an entirely different situation where another guy likewise said goodbye to a shoe.
Perhaps the writer of the episode confirmed which joke was intended, but the interpretations do seem to vary from viewer to viewer. What was your initial reaction?
