Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Ancient and venerable Eastern religion which numbers Apu among its multitudinous adherents.

Answer: Hindu

Putting him in distinguished company with Gandhi, Nehru, Tagore, and even several of the Beatles, however briefly.
2. What sacrilegious act does Homer commit in Apu's presence at the Kwik-E Mart?

Answer: Offers Ganesh a peanut

No, France is not going to put Groening or Brooks on trial for blasphemy.
3. Apu's response when Sideshow Bob, disguised as Krusty, holds up the Kwik-E Mart:

Answer: "...I know the procedure for armed robbery. I do work in a convenience store, you know."

Homer's response is to hide by diving into the potato chips.
4. In the song, "Who needs the Kwik-E mart," for what does Apu apologize to Homer?

Answer: "Salmonella"

Homer indicates that this is "okay", but when Apu breaks down in tears after singing the upbeat song, Homer angrily accuses him of having "lied through song".
5. Apu's wife's name:

Answer: Manjula

As female cartoon characters go, arguably even more attractive than Jessica Rabbit.
6. Why does Apu love the United States?

Answer: He has the freedom to say, think and charge whatever he wants.

Cynical, yes, but still patriotic. (It's a lot better than what Noam Chomsky says.)
7. Important member of the "B Sharps":

Answer: Apu Du Beaumarchais

When told to change his name, Apu replies, "It's a great dishonor to my ancestors and my God, but okay." (Tons of Cardinal Richelieu-related humor on Monty Python, but none that I know of on "The Simpsons.")
8. Apu's memorable words after making an all-syrup Squishee for Bart and Milhouse.

Answer: "If you survive, please come again"

Happily, they did.
9. In a rare moment of idiot savant brilliance, Homer amazes and one-ups Apu with his incisive understanding of this Hindu concept.

Answer: Karma

Apu: "He's got me there."
10. When Apu's mother visits from India, this character is coerced into pretending to be Apu's wife.

Answer: Marge

(It doesn't work.) Apu lucks out with an arranged marriage to Manjula.
