Page "Lisa's Date with Density" Paragraph 6

Homer ends up annoying all of Springfield with his " Happy Dude " scam, and soon enough Chief Wiggum catches him.

Instead of confiscating the autodialer and taking Homer into custody, he shoots it then gives Homer a citation and asks him to bring the autodialer with him ( although full of lead ) to his court hearing, otherwise there would be no case and Homer would be let off the hook.

In the closing credits, however, Homer has recorded a new message telling everyone he scammed he is sorry and that if they can forgive him to send more money.
