Stupidity: The fact that Mr. Furley just gives Wally (a total stranger) a presumingly long ride out of town to a farm to see Jack is a bit unbelievable considering the odds are that the trio would not have given (or be obligated to give) Furley the address where they were staying (Larry just shows up too separately). Also, Wally leaves the barn alone at the end... how is he going to get back that same long distance? Although entertaining, lots of stupidities were in this one episode.
