Plot
Betty is recruiting soldiers for a war against mosquitos. She offers a kiss to anyone who enrolls, which grabs the interest of several men. When Fearless Fred joins, he is stripped to his underwear, revealing his true fat, which is eventually pressed into muscle weight and looks like a real soldier. The war on the mosquitos parodies World War I-style combat. When the townspeople win, they all celebrate, and Betty and Fred kiss.
gollark: I have a Samsung 250GB SSD from back when they were £80 or so, and it still works fine.
gollark: I don't think I would trust any of these with any data whatsoever.
gollark: Well, I found a random unbranded one with 3-star reviews.
gollark: You can see, then, why it seems unlikely that there are real 1TB ones for $30 or so.
gollark: I thought so, but last I checked even a bottom-end 120GB SSD was £15 or so, and 1TB about £80.
