We took last week off to do some cleaning.  Boy, things sure get piled up pretty quickly around here.   Just take a look at the mess this guy gets into! 

Summary

A young lazy dreamer named Jonathan Swift gets told by a mischievous dwarf never to throw anything out. Unfortunately, he follows these instructions and is thrown out of his parents house when he refuses to get a job. Over 50 years pass and he, now an old vagrant with a carload full of 'treasures' is contemplating suicide. Suddenly, a wealthy collector purchases a mug from him for $10,000 and then he sells his toys and comics for $200,000. The episode finishes with an auction of materials owned by Jonathan Swift.

Commentary

Mark Hamill portrays the older Jonathan Swift in this slow little story. the piece is properly textured but the boring story lags.
