Plot

Mr. Krabs is observing charts based on Krusty Krab income when he sees something. Profit is down by $3! He charges employees for doing certain things. Squidward's 'bill' is shown below:

  • Breathing - $1
  • Talking - $5
  • Standing - $10
  • Existing - $2
  • Lollygagging - $2
  • Chewing - $1
  • TOTAL - $21

Of course, this is totally outrageous (Especially the 'existing' part), so SpongeBob and Squidward go on strike. If SpongeBob knew what a strike was, he wouldn't have gone. Squidward makes a sign saying 'Krusty Krab unfair', but SpongeBob misenterprets it as 'Krusty Krab Funfair', making the restaurant more popular. After lots of similar incidences, Squidward makes a deal with Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob is not informed, so he wrecks the Krusty Krab, or in Squidward's words:

Attention, Bikini Bottom!
You have been cheated and lied to!
The gentle laborer will no longer suffer from the noxious greed of Mr. Krabs!
We will send the hammer of the peoples' will crashing through the roof of Mr. Krabs' (yells with megaphone in someone's face) house of servitude!
We will dismantle oppression board by board!
We'll saw the foundation of big business in half!
Even if it takes an eternity!

Or in SpongeBob's words:

We're tired of your smelly greed!
And we're going to saw your tables!
And we're going to smash that with the people's hammer!
And we're gonna...we're gonna...uh...Squidward, what was that other thing?
Squidward: Dismantle your oppressive establishment.
And that too!

However, when Mr. Krabs is in his office and sees the ruins, he goes to pieces (literally) and yells "SQUIDWARD! SPONGEBOB!". Squidward and SpongeBob say "Yes, Mr. Krabs?" SpongeBob says "Here it comes." Mr. Krabs says "In order to pay for these damages, you two are gonna work for me, FOREVER!" In order to pay off the damages, SpongeBob and Squidward have to work for Mr. Krabs forever. One eternity later, their skeletons are shown, with Squidward sweeping the floor and SpongeBob at the register.


Quotes

  • (Outside Krusty Krab)
Squidward: OK, pay careful attention, Spongebob. Now we're gonna make picket signs. This is a very important part of striking.
SpongeBob: Like this, Squidward? (Shows a picket fence on a board.)
Squidward: Not a picket fence, you ding-dong! Picket sign!
SpongeBob: How's this? (Shows a sign with a guy picking his nose.)
Squidward: No. This is a picket sign. (Points) 'Krusty Krab Unfair'. Short, sweet, and to the point.
SpongeBob: How's this, Squidward? (Shows a "Krusty Krab Funfair" sign)
Squidward: SpongeBob! It's unfair, not funfair!
Citizen: A funfair? Where? I could go for some fun!
SpongeBob: At the Krusty Krab.
Citizen: Hey, everybody, let's go to the funfair! (Everybody steps on Squidward)
  • (Later)
Squidward: (on megaphone) Attention SpongeBob! YOU ARE A TERRIBLE STRIKER!!!
Squidward: (off megaphone) You just let your replacement cross our picket line, without so much as a single threat.
SpongeBob: I'm sorry, Squidward. How about I try the signs again? (Holds up sign that states "I [heart sign] the Krusty Krab")
Squidward: (on megaphone): FORGET THE SIGNS!
  • SpongeBob: I can't accept your money, Mr. Krabs. Grilling is my passion!
  • Squidward:Attention Bikini Bottom! You have been cheated and lied to.

Old lady:I knew it!(slaps her boyfriend/husband)

Squid jigs however are generally cast and retrieved using a fishing rod.
Squid jigging techniques are further discussed in the General Squid Fishing Chat Forum.
Often the squid will follow the jig and take it at the very last moment as you are about to lift the jig from the water.
ZAP! by Elizabeth Zubritsky (1524 words)
Squid even have a third set of muscles that spirals around their limbs to help with twisting.
But squid aren't the only ones who can do all this, as Kier and his colleague and wife, Kathleen Smith, an anatomy professor at Duke, found in their research.
After all, squid arms aren't nearly as quick as tentacles, though the two are so similar that biologists think tentacles evolved from arms.
