Synopsis
Hoping to see a new side to Homer, Marge convinces him to buy a refined collection of carpentry books. To Marge's dismay, the books only gather dust until she accidentally breaks a nightstand—and uses the books to fix it herself. Soon Marge is hammering together everything from birdfeeders to doghouses and it isn't long before she decides to transform her new skills into a full-fledged business. Unfortunately, the residents of Springfield don't trust a handywoman to make repairs, so Marge hires Homer to pose as a "front" while she handles the real work.
Meanwhile, Bart finds out that peanuts are no longer allowed at Springfield Elementary because someone suffers from an allergy. But this loss becomes his treasure when he finds out that the allergy belongs to his nemesis, the one and only Principal Skinner. Bart forces Skinner to do things such as admit he has cooties over the intercom, writing "A baby beat me up" on the blackboard in the style of the old chalkboard gags, and making a fool of himself in front of Comic Book Guy, all while holding a peanut tied to a stick. When CBG mentions Superman's weakness, Kryptonite, Skinner gets an idea, thinking even Bart has a Kryptonite-esque weakness. Infiltrating Dr. Hibbert's files at night, he finds out Bart's secret allergy, though we don't see what it is. Finally, when Bart threatens him once again, Skinner reveals Bart's weakness: SHRIMP! He has it tied on a stick just like Bart's peanut. What follows is a duel between Bart and Skinner, in the style of the Jedi fights from Star Wars. It even has the same music! Eventually though, the school bus they are fighting on goes into Little Bangok, and they fall into a tub of "Peanut Shrimp", which affects both of them.
