Bart Simpson's Punishment
The opening credits of "The Simpsons" shows Bart Simpson writing the same sentence over and over again on a chalkboard, the old "write it 100 times" punishment meted out to troublemakers. Each episode is different.
Someone went to the trouble of taping all the episodes, watching them all, and writing down what Bart is writing on the board. Here are some selections from these collected writings of Bart Simpson, presented for your amusement:
