Instead of the Monkey’s Paw, you find the Clown’s Nose, which instead of granting your wish in the worst way possible will grant it in the funniest way.
Item: the Cursed Clown Nose. Obviously to use it you have to put it on and give it a honk
okay no hang on because assuming it takes half a second for each bill, this would in fact take over five days of nonstop bills
i think i may have accidentally gotten my roommate into petplay
our landlord was coming over and he was worried he would find out we have pets. so i JOKINGLY told him to put a collar on and the landlord would think any pet stuff we forgot to put away was for him. and he did it. HALF JOKINGLY HALF BECAUSE HE REALLY LOVES HIS DOG.
when the landlord came over and saw my roommate he looked extremely uncomfortable so we played it up. a lot. on the bright side he didn’t say a thing about having any animals other than my roommate in here so we continued to do it every time he came round but i dont think it’s a joke for my roommate anymore
This is a problem the writers of the Simpsons have had to deal with - the Simpsons are late 80s, early 90s poor. They have two clunker cars, they live in a house that’s old-fashioned and has crappy furniture because they can’t afford to redecorate. Their TV is ancient. Their neighbors have visibly better stuff than they do, and when they shop they have to buy the bargain brands.
But their lifestyle now seems wildly out of reach to most modern kids! They have two cars! A big three bedroom house! Only one of the parents has to work! They have 3 whole children who they can afford to feed and clothe on a single income! It’s an impossible dream life for most people today.
