    Reminds me of that Simpsons skit, where Bart and Lisa got a massive pile of candy, and they’re so sick of candy because they ate so much, and Marge goes,

    “kids! That pile is starting to smell. Are you gonna eat it?”

    “nooooooh”.

    “Then we’ll give it away to the neighborhood kids!”

    “Nooooooh.”

    I’m probably massacring that skit but you know the one. 😁

      Always loved the Simpsons and I’m happy I grew up watching them … my favourite commentary on wealth in the show was how they portrayed Montgomery Burns … “I have two buttons behind this desk: one will supply your town with power, the other releases the hounds” … ! … ? … ! …? … “release the hounds”

      of even better … the ‘See My Vest’ song

      See my vest, see my vest,
      Made from real gorilla chest,
      Feel this sweater, there’s no better
      than authentic Irish setter.

      See this hat, 'twas my cat,
      My evening wear - vampire bat,
      These white slippers are albino
      African endangered rhino.

      Grizzly bear underwear,
      Turtles’ necks, I’ve got my share,
      Beret of poodle, on my noodle
      It shall rest.
