-* When Homer makes the phony call to Barney claiming he has a $10,000 bill, Barney tests him by asking which American president appears on the $10,000 bill, Homer responds "All of them! They are having a party. Jimmy Carter is passed out on the couch!" Had Barney had better knowledge of American law or money, he would have recognized he was being set up. It is illegal in the United States to engrave American money with images of living people. Furthermore, the ten thousand dollar bill does not feature a U.S. President, but rather Supreme Court Justice Salmon Chase.
