 The main story of the episode 's first act sees Bart get appendicitis from eating a jagged metal Krusty @-@ O. Mike Reiss 's father , being a doctor , " sort of " acted as the medical consultant on this episode . He stated that " you can 't get " appendicitis from eating a piece of metal , but the writers decided to do it anyway . In his flashback , Murphy is shown as having a " $ 1 @,@ 500 a day Fabergé egg habit " ; Jean " didn 't realize just how expensive " Fabergé eggs actually were , so the joke does not make much sense .
