And on the bit he says when they cut to Mr Burns and Smithers
When Homer tries to read his sweaty palm to Mindy, part of what he
utters is "nom yo ho renge kyo." Joshua Love noticed that this is
"a mantra that Akbar and/or Jeff chanted once in one of the Life in
Hell comic strips." Jim Dyer says it's the title of the "Lotus
Sutra", and Raymond J. Brennan recounts, "I remember meeting some
[Buddhists] at a grocery store and they invited me over to chant. I
remember THAT as being the one chanted most....when chanted in
repetition several times, while thinking of something you want, it
will come."

Richard Oliver says that it is a Nichiren-Soshu Japanese chant, "Nam
Myoho Renge Kyo", and that roughly translated, it means "Devotion to
the mystical laws of cause and effect which govern all the sounds
(activities) in the universe." He goes on, "Part of the effort [of
`Shakabuku' missionaries] is to persuade prospective converts that
whatever they chant for they will receive."

Tom Collins correctly points out, "The chant also appears in `Revenge of
the Nerds II' where the evil fraternity boys have the nerds in their
underwear and facing crocodiles. The nerds burst into a group chant
of `Nam myo-ho renge kyo' in a desperate effort to invoke a
miracle."

Homer:
Well, time to go to work.
Homer's brain:
Little do they know I'm ducking out early to take the Duff Brewery tour.
Homer:
Roll in at nine, punch out at five, that's the plan.
Homer's brain:
Heh, heh, heh. They don't suspect a thing.
[camera pans down to Homer's mouth, but he doesn't say anything]
Well, off to the plant.
Homer:
Then to the Duff Brewery.
Homer's brain:
Uh, oh. Did I say that or just think it?
Homer:
[panicky] I've got to think of a lie fast!
Marge:
Homer, are you going to the Duff Brewery?
Homer:
Aah!
[Runs off]
