Don't know if it's Apu's son though. . .(I assumed it was, but it
doesn't make a whole lot of sense now, huh?)

That's Apu's nephew.

I don't know where you got such an awful spelling of Jamshed, but it's
definitely NOT Jumpshid (or the more ribald spellings that some claim.)
Jamshed often addresses Apu as Uncle. It may be honorary, but there has never
been a break in the addressing to indicate that Jamshed is anything but what he
states, the nephew of Apu.

My mom (not a simpsons fan) distinctly remembers Apu telling Homer
wearily, "And now I must go home and pleasure my wife."
I don't recall this-- can anyone say where this might have come from?
