"Sticks and Stones" - Season 2

Earl was helping Catalina wax a co-worker's mustache and it took him back to number 92 on his list - "Made Fun of Maggie Lester." Earl remembers when he was in junior high school and he made fun of the new girl for having a mustache. He called her Maggie P.I. in front of everybody in his class.

Earl finds Maggie in the phone book and pays her a visit. He tells her about his list and explains that she's on it. He also finds out that Maggie has become successful while working for a traveling circus. She explains to Earl that he doesn't need to do anything more because she had forgiven him so he's allowed to cross her off his list.

Randy and Earl discover that Maggie lives in a freak town where all the carnie folk live when it's not carnival season. They learn about all types of different people. Earl and Randy hang out with a boy that has lobster hands, a dwarf, and a man with a horn in his head. The tallest man of the freak show taught the two guys about the stock market.

Joy and Darnell meet with Joy's court-appointed lawyer, who happens to be a deaf woman and Joy is not comfortable with Ruby Whitlow representing her. Ruby threatens to leave Joy and have her represent her own case, which Joy thinks is a great idea.

While hanging out with the freak show, Earl is reminded of the time when he was younger and was forced to take off his shirt at the pool and the kids made fun of his hairy nipples. He decides to confront the swim coach who made him take off his shirt.

Earl wants to show that he isn't ashamed of his hairy nipples, so he decides to go back to the swimming pool and jump off the diving board with his shirt off. He almost chickens out, but his freak-show friends show up to give him support. Earl feels better and he jumps off the diving board.
