A.k.a., Johnny Deformed

Marge: Bart, I'd like you to read this copy of "Johnny Tremain."  It's
a book I read as a girl.
Bart:  A book!?  Pfffft.
Marge: I think you might like this. It's about a boy who goes to war.
His hand is deformed in an accident.
Bart:  Deformed?  Why didn't you say so! They should call this book
"Johnny Deformed" ...
