Needless to say, Ranma was not amused.
Line 170:
* Lois in ''[[Lois and Clark]]'' can't cook... as shown in one episode, at the end of which she inherits cookery talent from the ghost of a disgruntled housewife who possessed her. Cookery is never mentioned again.
** Isn't that where I got the line "I only know three recipes, and this is the only one that doesn't involve chocolate."?
