Magic Shake-Ball



Dear Magic Shake-Ball:

This whole chicken pox lollipop thing sounds like a fabulous way to make some extra cash. No one in my house has the virus, but I was thinking that I could have parents send their kids to me for a week to get exposed to all the bacteria living in my house. I could charge extra if they wanted to take home one of the dust bunnies under my bed. What do you think?

Answer:

"Why, all these should be in the lantern, for all these are in the moon." (Midsummer Night's Dream 5.1.250)

Interpretation:

I hadn't even thought of that! How did you know about all of the dead bugs coating the inside of my light fixtures? I could charge even more to have the kids play with that treasure trove. You're a genius, Shake-Ball!
