_____ "Oxbrain is way too popular to suit me," Smitty sulked. "I think he needs to work harder to keep his popularity. Heh, heh..."
_____ He called up printers in all the major cities throughout the country and had them print up posters and flyers that said:

 

Come One, Come All
MEET OXBRAIN IN PERSON!
Let Him Show You Around Town
This Weekend Only
at the Billowy Building

and told them to give them out and post them everywhere in their city.
_____ He called up TV and radio stations, and the major dailies and informed them about Oxbrain's "offer" as well.
_____ It wasn't the weekend yet, but people started pouring into the city. They formed a sea of humanity in the streets surrounding the Billowy Building.
_____ By now all TV and radio stations were covering this unexpected event live, as camera crews set up equipment on top of nearby buildings for a better vantage point. Helicopters thrummed overhead, broadcasting dramatic images of millions massing in the city, with everyone trying to make their way to where Oxbrain held office. Traffic shut down totally.
_____ When Smitty saw the commotion that his prank had created, he filed for vacation leave and escaped into the crowd.
_____ .Little Alexi saw Oxbrain looking sadly from his office window at the throng below.
_ ___ "What should I do, Alexi? There's too many of them, and just one of me."
_____ "I think I have an idea," Alexi said after a few minutes. "But I'll need some help. Have Daddy come in here."
_____ Oxbrain had Farnsworth paged to his office.
_____ "I think Alexi here has a plan that will help us out of this situation," Oxbrain said to Farnsworth as he walked in.
_____ Farnsworth was skeptical. "Alexi, can't you see that we're very busy today. Go play somewhere else!" he told the little girl.
_____ "Let's listen to her," Oxbrain said, a little more sternly this time.
_____ And so they sat down together at a long empty table: an ox, a man and a little girl, and they listened as Alexi told them her plan, and as they listened, their faces lit up. Both smiled and nodded their heads. It was worth a try, they all agreed.
_____ Farnsworth took out his cellular and jabbed at the buttons, barking instructions into the tiny contraption. Then he dialed several more numbers. Was that a tailor he was talking to? A farmer?

So what's the plan, Farnsworth? What are you going to do about the millions camped outside? What? You mean I'll have to wait until the next episode to find out? Well, I'm sure the crossword below will give us some more hints...
