... but right as the school is swimming beneath his boat, he opens up the little tub of bait he brought along and starts shoveling the dirt and worms in his own mouth, greedily slurping down the little squirming maggots and telling everyone how awesome it tastes.

@ENΔΕKA this is brilliant! I suspect it will be rather difficult for me to open my wallet and waste money on crap I don't need after picturing myself shoving handfuls of worms and maggots in my mouth. Thank you.

Reminds me of this article by Mr Money Mustache in which he suggests that you offer yourself a catheter and a bedpan as a substitute for consumer purchases that you think will make your life more comfortable/convenient.
