Lisa doesn't believe Oliver's story about his plane being hijacked to Cuba, but when she looks over at his picture, his face has Fidel Castro's beard and hat drawn on it.
Mr. Haney presents Oliver a business card for "Haney's Lonesome Service." His one week "de-lonelization service" costs $15 and includes horseshoes and advanced lessons on dancing the Big Apple.
The schtick about Oliver flying to Cuba instead of Miami, speaks to the frequency of armed highjackers forcing airliners to fly to Cuba. The incidence of highjacking abated somewhat in the U.S. when metal detectors were added to airports in 1973 as security checks for anyone seeking access to an airplane.
