Storyline

Al falls from the second floor of his house, hitting his head, and then has an out-of-body experience in this episode. Appearing at the Heavenly Gates, then sees God's Shoes, which he said were brown and gold, had socks stitched in, and the toes were custom fitted. He spent forty days and thirty-nine nights (a parody of Noah's Ark), he also spent the fortieth night watching a pornographic movie, Planet of the D-cups. He made the Shoes and Jefferson and Al tried to market them. They failed miserably. Al had another out-of-body experience, where "God" turned out to be a spirit named Sid, who had tried the same thing in life (he died in 1925) and it also failed. Sid then gives Al the idea for The Shoehorn, a restaurant/shoe store!

Goofs

Kelly mentions Al's failed attempt to walk across Lake Michigan to Canada to sell shoes. However, Lake Michigan is located entirely within the U.S., so even if Al could walk on water, it wouldn't be possible to get to Canada that way.
When Al falls out the window the first time, you can clearly see the dummy and it lands one way, yet when the camera shows the real Al, he is in a different position.
When Al fall out the window for the second time, its clearly a dummy again and it lands with its face looking into the camera
