I had the "H" stolen off my Honda once. I spent $16 to replace it, only to have it smashed in an accident a few weeks later.
Oh and regarding Homer's jobs, I liked the episode when he was the Sanitation Commissioner.

I always love posting this quote:
Moe: That's it. You're no longer welcome in here, and we're taking your record out of the jukebox.
Homer: [gasps] It's Raining Men?
Moe: Not no more, it ain't.
(or something to that effect)

There was also something about taking his caricature down from Mount Lushmore.

More Homer jobs!
Carny Truck Driver Voiceover Actor Beer Baron Japanese Soap Icon (sorta) Baseball Player Baseball Mascot Teacher College Student Automobile Designer Inventor
Which actually is one of my beefs with the show (and it's not like I have a lot of them). If the whole thing continues to be the "Homer's Job of the Week" show, it'll only get old that much faster.
Still. Nice resumé.

In the episode where he briefly takes on a stint as a private security firm, Homer lists out pretty much every job he's ever had (but not all of them). It's a great minute of a straight monologue.
...conceptual artist, food critic, Krusty, homemaker, Poochie, Smithers...

yeah, that monologue was what i was talking about on my last post. The whole job thing IS getting outta hand, considering how stupid, smelly, and lazy Homer is supposed to be. But still, it's cool that they can poke fun at themselves.

I think it's pretty funny and hope Homer has another 200 jobs yet. He always has a new pennant for each one.

Homer: Oh good, it's just a milk truck...hey! Maybe I should be a milkman! Marge: Homer! Homer: I know, I know, fight the power.

Ack, now I have to THINK?
I don't like this much.
Mostly, just smaller little roles that've popped up over the years. I'd have to look at the full quote from that episode and then think back to come up with any, but I know they didn't hit them all. For example, they didn't mention that he was the windmill operator at the mini-putt course when he was in high school (the episode where he and Marge get married). And in the same episode, he worked at a fast food joint. Stuff like that.

"There's nothing worse than the look on a boy's face when he says, 'Dad, I don't think you can build a fully-functional robot.'"
"But I ask you, where does it say in the rulebook that a robot CAN'T be a human?" "Right here. Rule one."

Man, that Robot episode is SO gory, for the Simpsons. When Homer had his arm chopped halfway, and those bulletholes in his neck...very weird...and bloody.

Remember when Milhouse's dad got his arm whacked off? Driving along, complaining that the sandwich shop didn't cut his sandwich in half and sticking it up out of the convertible, he drives through the piano wire.
That's probably my favourite sight gag in the series. Not because it's so sick (and it is), but because you THINK it's going to be a harmless gag about getting the sandwich cut in half. And off goes the arm. Strange, but I laugh every time I see it.

Or when Homer and Burns are tossing silver dollars off of a building and one gets caught in Lenny's skull. He takes it out to tip it like a hat to a girl, and blood just comes gushing.
Ah, cartoon violence.
GIRL: Something's wrong with my [Malibu] Stacy talking doll! [pulls string]
TALKING MALIBU STACY: My Spidey Sense is tingling! Did anyone call for a webslinger?
