[edit] Issue in Trivia Section

Regarding the current final entry in the trivia section:

Krusty claims his first big laugh came when he was a boy at yeshiva school impersonating his father. He is seen quoting from a book and the other boys are laughing at Krusty as he mouths off "Blah, blah, blah Moses, blah, blah Elijah." Krusty is supposedly illiterate. How he was a yeshiva student despite being unable to read is one of the many plot holes about Krusty.

He was mimicking his father by saying "Blah, blah, blah Moses, blah, blah Elijah", yes, but he was obviously not reading that out of a book but rather mentioning names frequently uttered during Jewish learning. --Valley2city^₪‽ 03:08, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

The text of the article ignores the possibility that Krusty can (or at the time could) read Hebrew but was illiterate in English. This is not an unheard-of phenomenon in haredi yeshivas even in America. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 14:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
