[the other teachers cheer] I'm happy to announce that another union has joined us in a sympathy strike: the piano tuners' Local 412![the teachers look at one another, confused] [a piano tuner stands outside a house with an out-of-tune piano and looks smug] Bart: [walking up] Now for Operation Strike-Make-Go-Longer. [to teacher] You know, I heard Skinner say the teachers will crack any minute. [the teachers whisper it forward through the line] Teacher: [to Edna] Skinner said the teachers will crack any minute purple monkey dishwasher. Edna: Well! We'll show him, especially for that "purple monkey dishwasher" remark. [everyone shouts their assent] -- Rabble rousing, "The PTA Disbands"
