Story
Peter notices that Joe only likes his texts while Cleveland and Quagmire laugh. Joe says he has never found Peter funny. Peter creeps into his bedroom to mark one of his jokes, trips the traps and falls downstairs. In hospital he apologises, and the list of his injuries finally makes Joe laugh. Lois chaperones Chris and Meg's school trip to Washington and embarrasses them. She bonds with Principal Shepherd over a lost first love, Shellie Barnes, voiced by Casey Wilson. Meeting her again goes badly, though Lois tells him he has fared better than she has.
