Every time I learn something new, a little of the old gets pushed outta my brain, remember that time I took that wine making course and forgot how to drive?

Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

Homer jokes that his mind has limited room, so each new fact evicts something older. His example is deliberately absurd: a wine-making course supposedly wiped out his ability to drive. The line plays self-deprecating foolishness for comedy, treating memory like a crowded shelf.
