Springfield Elementary psychotherapist J. Loren Pryor looked over the pudgy, stringy-haired boy, who had been temporarily removed from Ms. Elizabeth Hoover's second grade class for all too frequent disturbances. The boy, one Ralph Wiggum, was proceeding to stuff Pryor's Rorschach tests up his left nostril when Dr. Pryor had an epiphany.

"Ralph, it seems that Mrs. Hoover and Principal Skinner alike have horribly overlooked your giftedness!" said Dr. Pryor, firmly grasping Ralph's voluminous permanent record, which he proceeded to sift through. Your limitless imagination, epitomized by your cartoon creations 'Wiggle Puppy' and that nameless arsonist of a leprechaun, coupled by your family's high intellect—not any idiot can be Chief of Springfield Police—prove that your classroom troubles are the product of boredom, not mere stupidity! So, Ralph, how would you like to join Springfield's branch of MENSA, a high-IQ society frequented by well-respected intellectuals like Springfield Heights Institute of Technology professor John Frink and business executive Lindsay Naegle, not to mention Android's Dungeon proprietor Jeffrey Albertson?"

"The teddy bears are changing," replied Ralph.
