The Simpsons: 10 Throwaway Lines That Would Have Made Great Episodes

9. Kirk Loses A Foot

Poor Kirk. Springfield's most pathetic loser never recovered from his divorce from wife Luann. And neither did his son Milhouse who apparently went to great lengths to help his father. In "Large Marge" Bart and Milhouse ruin Krusty's reputation by imitating one of his stunts and accidentally desecrating the American Flag in front of WWII veterans. In an attempt to restore Krusty's image, Milhouse suggests that if they cut of his foot, so people might feel sorry for him. Bart shoots down the idea, pointing out that it didn't help Kirk get Luann back. We hear no more of the matter, but that doesn't stop us demanding to see a scene with Bart and Milhouse amputating one of Kirk's feet. How did they do it? Did Kirk even consent to it? And just imagine his reaction when it failed to get his wife back. If it's any consolation Kirk seems to be a master of regrowing missing limbs, as he previously lost his arm in "Realty Bites".
