In fact, the only place that will hire him is Jerome Horwitz Elementary School, home of George and harold, those class clowns who are always making trouble. At this point, Professor Pippy P. Poopypants is at the end of his rope. And it's terribly important that nobody at his new school laugh at his name...because if just one more person makes fun of Poopypants, it might just drive him OFF THE DEEP END! Needless to say, George and Harold poo-poo Poopypants's pride and practically pulverize it to pieces. Now, Poopypants is preparing to pounce!
