Plot[]
The episode began with Happy saying "Hey kids! The Fruit Olympics begin today!" and he watches the TV. It zooms to the TV and shows a recreation of the Olympic torch relay, but with fruit. After the torch holder (an apple) lights the Olympic Flame, the games begin. It's a cheesy compilation of sports played in the Olympics, but with fruit. Then Happy turns to the camera and says "Hey kids! The 2000 Olympics begin in a year! You should go see it!" and the episode ends.
