		Homer lists his jobs as: boxer, mascot, astronaut, imitation Krusty, baby-proofer, trucker, hippie, plow-driver, food critic, conceptual artist, grease salesman, carny, mayor, grifter, bodyguard for the mayor, country-western manager, garbage commissioner, mountain climber, farmer, inventor, Smithers, Poochie, celebrity assistant, power plant worker, fortune cookie writer, beer baron, Kwik-E-Mart clerk, homophobe, and missionary.
		When homer realizes there is a problem at the nuclear power plant he tries to call someone but his fingers are too fat to dial.

		The dirt farmer's wife, The lonely girl waiting for an astronaut, The twisted axe wielder out by the woodpile, and Magnus the Robot Fighter, among others, wrestle with their demons, usually to no avail.

		But there's a slight twinge of hope in several of the tunes on Some Stupid with a Flare Gun, as if to imply that even lunatics and psychotics deserve redemption.

	Virgil -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		Publius Vergilius Maro The well-educated son of a prosperous provincial farmer, Virgil led a quiet life, though he eventually became a member of the circle around Octavian (later Caesar Augustus) and was patronized by Maecenas.

		Grissom, Virgil I. astronaut Virgil Ivan Grissom (better known as Gus Grissom) was born in Mitchell, Ind., in 1926.
