This may or may not been brought up already, but doesn't Apu have a
son(Sanjay?)? Didn't he guard the Kwik_E_Mart with a shotgun when Apu
had to leave and Jimbo, Dolph, and Gernie were alone in the store?
Thought that might of put a crimp in last Sunday's story, although I
guess he could have been Apu's brother's son.

I have always understood Sanjay to be Apu's brother. However, I don't know
if this is ever explicitly stated, and consider this exchange (I think its
from the episode where everyone is buying lottery tickets.) -
Sanjay (loaded with money): I am making another bank run. If I am killed,
promise you won't sleep with my wife.
Apu: I promise nothing.

I assumed that Jamshed (the kid) was the son of Sanjay (Apu's brother),
although this was, as far as I know, not officially confirmed on the
show. Apu was certainly not married before Sunday's episode.

The boy's name is Jumpshid.

"Little Jumpshid, the store is in your hands."
"I have waited for this day." (taking out a shotgun)

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?)

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?
