I think it's from the end of last season.

But it was a repeat.

I do have to say that last week's episode with Sheldon's interaction with Howard's mother seems to (at least) be supportive of my client's (aka Chronus) position wrt the "slap bet".

Ample opportunity with no sexually-charged response on the part of Dr. Cooper.

I'm beginning to think that the show's writers are reading this thread.

Approximately 30 minutes after the attack began, Hensley’s body was pulled from the water by police. The father of two was described by family members as healthy and athletic, but he was thrown into the water fully clothed and wearing boots.
It was his job to care for the swans at the Bay Colony Drive complex, which were brought in to keep away geese, whose nests and droppings were fouling edges of the pond where the attack took place.
Not so funny now, huh VA?

[Sheldon-esqe voice] Who said that I thought those 10 people's deaths were funny?

What's funny is a supposed "rational" human being holding an irrational fear and self-supporting the fact that said fear is irrational. [/S-e v]

We have not. He doesn't watch any TV yet, and when it's on in the same room he's in, seems completely uninterested in it, except for when basketball is on, oddly enough.
