I'm a bit surprised at Leroy's relatively sophisticated joke about Loretta's tire-like cooking. The Michelin Guide is a somewhat urbane reference to be throwing out in a Lockhorns panel. I have to admit, I didn't know that the freaky, tire hawking, Michelin Man had a side gig doing distinguished travel guides with restaurant reviews until fairly recently. Leroy apparently knew and used the unconventional synergy of a company that produces tires and a restaurant guide to devastating effect. Although to be technically correct, he should have said the "the tire manufacturing subsidiary". It doesn't really roll of the tongue as well. Still, it's a three star effort; Leroy gets the point.

Official Count:

Leroy - 71
Loretta - 87
Push - 79
