Clockwise from the bottom left:
- I find this to be a totally legitimate complaint by Leroy. Maybe more modern cars have them visible all the time but I'm assuming most cars with digital displays won't show the odometer number until it is turned on. I suppose the owner should have written the total mileage out on this "For Sale" sign. These must be constant frustrations for Leroy during his never ending quest to find replacement cars after Loretta totals another automobile. It's a humorless but realistic push. The score remains 0-0.
- Oh the classic gender specific toilet seat placements joke, it's probably as old as the toilet itself. This is really the exact kind of humor that most captures the Lockhorns as a whole. I'm surprised they don't do it even more often. As for the panel, I considered giving Loretta the credit here but it's Leroy that looks to be in the victor's position. He is unrepentant about keeping the toilet seat up as he lazily lies back on his recliner. The compromise solution to all this would be a recliner with a built in toilet, then Leroy could be lazy and there'd be no lid issues. Leroy gets the point and leads 1-0.
- Why are the Lockhorns so frequently calling customer service lines? Is it an issue with one company or with many companies? As residents of Nassau county there are plenty of service and utility providers that could be the culprits. Given all the car accidents by Loretta I'm sure they're always in contact with their auto insurance provider. I'm going to go with the cable company; always one of the worst offenders. Once again this is a relatable pet peeve but ultimately a pointless push. Leroy continues to lead 1-0.
- The obvious joke is that Leroy hates being married to Loretta, but why would that translate into referring to your wife in air quotes? It's not like he doesn't believe the marriage is legitimate; the legitimacy of his marriage is what's causing him to be so unhappy. I suppose "wife" could have broader implications of affection and dedication, so maybe he just wants to make it clear that Loretta is his "wife" in strictly the legal sense. Loretta gets a point for calling out Leroy. The score is tied 1-1.
- What could the Lockhorns be doing to keep getting kicked out of Olive Gardens? Also, why are they so loyal the chain? I suspect their constant ejections are related to abuses of their yearly "Never Ending Pasta Bowl" promotions. Of course you can't rule out the possibility that they're just plain terrible to be around. Given what Loretta says about their free dinner at Sizzler; they may be being paid by the Sizzler to disrupt business in their rival restaurants. It sounds like a sweet gig for the Lockhorns. Maybe Applebee's will hire them to cause trouble at local Chili's locations. It's a push for the panel and an overall push on the day as Leroy and Loretta end the showdown tied at 1-1.
