The episode originally had a line from Harvey Croak that went, "What the heck is taking that amputee sheriff so long?" Tom Kenny, the voice of Harvey Croak, thought the line might offend actual amputees. So he improvised the line, replacing "amputee" with words like "stumpy" and "puny", and the nickname "Sheriff Go-Kart". The last ad-lib was used in the final product.
