Thanks for posting. With all the other stuff going on, it will be nice to see people jump on the opportunity for some low-grade humor.

Fry: Hey, as long as you don’t make me smell Uranus. (laughs)
Leela: I don’t get it.
Farnsworth: I’m sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
Fry: Oh. What’s it called now?
Farnsworth: Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you.
Fry: Hehe, no, no, I think I’ll just smell around a bit over here.
