Clothes-Eating Wager: At one point, the narrator says of the Schlottz, an unfortunate beast with its tail tied in knots, "If he isn't muchly more worse off than you, I'll eat my umbrella, that's just what I'll do."

Cactus Cushion
 Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? / int_86288daf
comment
Cactus Cushion: The old man the protagonist meets in the beginning of the story sits atop a cactus. Unusually, this marks a rare case of the trope not causing pain; the spot he's sitting on contains no spines and he carefully positions himself to avoid the spines on the other parts of the cactus.

Didn't Think This Through: Poor Herbie Hart, who has taken his throm-dib-u-lator apart, and is trying to put it together. He apparently didn't think about that last part.

Hard Work Hardly Works
 Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? / int_cc427069
comment
Hard Work Hardly Works: The old man tells the kid about a lot of folks who work hard at crummy jobs. Ali Sard has to mow "quick-growing grass" in his stingy uncle's backyard, and paint flagpoles on Sundays to get by. Mr. Potter is a t-crosser-i-dotter who dots i's and crosses t's at an I and T factory. Professor DeBreeze who has spent 32 years trying to teach Irish ducks how to speak Jivanese. The worst example is probably the Hauch-Hauchers in Hauch-Hauch. One was told to watch a bee, but didn't do well, so another was told to watch him. Then he didn't do so well, so another Haucher had to watch him, and so on, until all of them were watching each other.
