Plot
SpongeBob and Patrick
SpongeBob goes to work one day when he accidentally gets his spatula stuck to the ceiling. While attempting to get it, he gave himself a splinter from the wood floor. When Squidward finds out, he tells him about how Mr. Krabs could send him home early and how he can sniff out any problem in the Krusty Krab. So now SpongeBob is extremely under stress of getting the splinter out. When Mr. Krabs finds out, he tells SpongeBob he knows how to get the splinter out. He pulls on it and it comes out easily. Then Squidward hits himself on the floor and injures himself in order to get paid for just sitting at home, yet his shift ended two minutes ago.
