Arguably better than Charlie's Photoshop ability

Just when you think there isn't enough Joe Piscopo-related material for an entire episode, you reach back a few years into the crime blotter and pull out episode 219.

Another fun fact: the title of the show is spelled wrong on the official HBO website.
