    Wrong!
    After a bad investment Homer borrows money from Patty and Selma.

    This is a strong episode with very good humour and character moments.

    Patty and Selma are as horrible to their brother-in-law as ever, but as nasty as they get, it is very funny because of how entertaining Homer's behaviour is throughout. Their mutual hatred is always a great source of comedy.

    The B-plot involving Bart is equally as good he faces up to the judgement of his peers by joining the school ballet group. I love the reactions of the school bullies when his identity is revealed.

    Mel Brooks fans should enjoy his short cameo, which is quite amusing.
