Meat Packer's Union Hall, Batavia, New York. I'll send them right out!"¹

We watched this ten year old Simpsons episode last night and Jeff chuckled, "Meat Packer's Union Hall?!"

Well, we were at the fire hall the previous weekend. ("If you hold extended family gatherings in a fire hall, you just might be a redneck.")

I speculate that they chose Batavia, not for Jimmy Hoffa, but for the Masonic scandal, an earlier missing persons case.

Jeff said, "Hm, is there a Mason among the writers? You know, they have that Stonecutters Lodge." Seems the most obvious Mason ... is Jackie. Oy.
