Cheaters

In yesterday’s episode of The Simpsons, Homer and Bart learned a very valuable lesson in life; they learned that cheating doesn’t get you too far. In the episode Homer is driving and a huge fish lands on the hood of his car and messes it up bad. So he took the car to the body shop to get an estimate, the guy takes a look at the car and then the fish and says “yup it’s foreign, it’s gonna cost ya” so now Homer needs a lot of money to fix his car, so he decides to cheat people out of their money. So Homer then teams up with Bart to get the money to fix the car. In this episode they execute many schemes but my favorite is when Bart is looking for his lost dog, Dr. Hibbert asks him what the dog looked Bart replies by saying the dog was brown with a white spot shaped like a heart on it and it was wearing a red collar with bells on it. After Bart’s description Dr. Hibbert sees a newly caught shark being weighed with the red collar on it’s teeth. Feeling bad for the Bart he said that he would buy him a new dog so luckily Homer was walking by with a dog that looked exactly like he described earlier so Dr. Hibbert bought it. Now after a few schemes they got enough money and fixed the car, but decided to keeping cheating people for their money because it’s easy. Well it turns out that Grandpa used to be a big cheater so they use his help to try and pull off the biggest scheme of them all, to scam money from the old folk’s home. They pretend Grandpa won ten thousand dollars, so because of the shock he dies. So they tell the rest of the people that if they give him money he will be able to cash the large check and let them split the check. Well some was pretending to be and old person but really was a cop and arrested Homer and Bart. When they arrive to the police station he tells them that he will let them turn themselves in, in order to receive a lighter punishment. So Homer tells Wiggum that he wants to scare Bart straight so they go inside the cell. Once the cop sees that there in jail he steals their car, it turns out he wasn’t a cop he was trying to cheat people the same way they were. In the end the guy didn’t really steal their car Marge used him to teach them a lesson, so they would stop. So it goes to show you that cheating really doesn’t get you anyway, you may be ahead at first but not for too long your luck will catch up with you.
