-Bart has spent his day flying a kite near the [[Springfield Airport]] with [[Milhouse]] and with the sun setting, he decides to take a nap. With no-where to tie his kite, he wraps the string around his neck and dozes off. [[Channel 6]]'s [[Arnie Pye]]'s weather-report helicopter flies overhead and Bart's kite and the 'copter intertwine. Arnie panics and flies away - the force of which pulls the kite string tight, swiftly chopping Bart's head clean off his shoulders.<br>
