Notes: Under the title is the statement, "An authentic excerpt from an authentic excerpt as told to Howie Post." This is not a parody of "I Love Lucy." As with many of the stories that have parody titles in the Atlas MAD-imitations, it doesn't seem to be a parody of anything specific. - John Benson
