Mrs. Krabappel had given Bart a month's detention and taken away his yo-yo because of a yo-yo stunt that had killed the [[Stinky and Wrinkles|classroom fish]].

Bart decided to get revenge by sending a prank reply to the ad. He started by saying that he liked holding hands and dinner by candlelight.
