Plot
Honest garage mechanic, faithful husband and good father, Emile Dupuy was persuaded by the patter of a salesman at a bazaar to buy a cane fishing model with the money intended for his wife Charlotte's dream: a washing machine. Not daring to tell her, he will lie, small lies, wholesale lies, and finds himself in an inextricable situation.

gollark: It seems pointless to buy a dedicated device to learn python.
gollark: They probably only have one copy and want to see if anyone is insane enough to buy it, or something. Or it's been bid up by the weird autopricing algorithms in use.
