synopsis
Once again, Alice (Linda Lavin) finds a second job in a show-business vein; this time, she is hired to deliver singing telegrams. And once again, Alice's moonlighting takes a toll on her regular job at Mel's Diner; this time, she shows up for work four hours late. The episode's highlight is Alice's excuse for her tardiness, a tissue of lies that isn't to be sneezed at!
