episodes from the season on October 21, 2008.Peter is so annoyed by
his friend Mort Goldman constantly borrowing his personal belongings
that he creates a "Scare-Jew" (an effigy of Adolf Hitler) using his
best suit to scare Mort away, which works (even though he was merely
coming to return Peter's hedge clippers, which he drops anyway due to
being frightened). Frustrated, Lois takes him to a thrift store to get
a new suit, where Peter finds some flannel pajamas. He decides to wear
them even to work; and after being told off by Lois, he suddenly
notices that he can shock people with static electricity by rubbing
his feet on the carpet. He enjoys using this as a prank opportunity so
much, an annoyed Lois completely removes the carpet (with Quagmire's
assistance), which leads the family to find an antique 18th century
Rhode Island ship token, hidden under the carpet, which the family
sells for $50,000. With the money, Peter and Lois decide to live their
dream of owning a restaurant, naming it "Big Pete's House of
Munch".The Griffins' business has a shaky start and loses money until
Joe promises to bring his friends to the restaurant. Peter is at first
excited at the thought of his restaurant becoming the hangout for
police officers, but eventually finds that Joe is actually bringing in
fellow paraplegics. The restaurant becomes a huge success among
handicapped customers, but Peter is disappointed that what was
supposed to be a cool restaurant has become a "cafeteria at the
veterans hospital," and did not want to take the profits for granted.
Angered, Peter bans them from entering with a "no shirt, no shoes, no
legs, no service" policy. Joe is perplexed why Peter would turn away
loyal paying customers, much less a good friend like Joe, but Peter
stubbornly refuses to allow handicapped customers. In response, the
handicapped unite into a giant robot known as "CrippleTron", which
begins attacking the restaurant while Peter, Chris and Stewie are on
the roof. Stewie eventually takes matters into his own hands and
defeats CrippleTron, which falls on Peter, breaking one of his legs.
After being taken to the hospital, Peter needs to use a wheelchair for
two weeks while his broken leg heals. Peter apologizes to Joe, who
accepts his apology on the basis that he is glad to see Peter
understand the difficulties of being disabled and that he does not
want to continue holding a grudge against Peter. The two make amends,
and things go back to the way they were. Peter also closes down the
restaurant. No Meals on Wheels Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
