Did the woman with a migrain have a dome clock and she used the plunger to create a vacuum so the ticking could not be heard?
Comic
Close enough on this one. A cuckoo clock. The plunger covered the exit hole so the bird could not pop out and chirp the time.
comic book plunger… is it the Green Arrow?
Okay here’s the answer to the kid in the hole: The kid falls in a hole. A second kid runs for help. The second kid stops at some random plumber’s business and explains the dilemma. This random plumber brings a plunger and sticks it down the hole onto the first kid’s head. And suctions/pulls the kid out. Problem solved!
So who are these kids? The kids trying to look through the holes in the fence at the ballpark to see a baseball game but failing because plungers now cover the holes? The niece who uses a plunger to simulate a kissing sound? The kid who absurdly puts a plunger on a cookoo clock so the woman has silence? Or the one wearing a silly party hat over a plunger in the wind? The one rescued from a hole with a plunger? And who solves all these problems over and over with some random object or another?
Not the Green Arrow.
Nancy and Sluggo? The boy has to be bald if a plunger is gonna stick on his head.

You got it!
Worst. MacGyver. Episode. Ever.
A Christian missionary moved to a local town. Soon after, the efficiency of the local ponies that worked the local coal mine went down significantly. Why?
Again, probably highly Google-able, so avoid temptation.
Was this happening in the U.S.?
Was the town Christianized before?
Were the ponies treated differently for religious reasons?
Did this happen in the 21st, 20th, 19th 18th or previous century?
Did it happen in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Oceania?
Was Alcohol involved?
20th century. Australia.
No alcohol involved.
So early 20th century, outback Australia?
A mining company had brought ponies, but little to no Christianization yet, correct?
Was the missionary active in Australia before?
Is the type of mining activity relevant?
Is the denomination of this missionary relevant?
Did the missionary have any direct contact with the ponies?
Did he influence people who did have direct contact with the ponies to do something differently?
Were the ponies previously mistreated?
Is the specific content of what the missionary preached / taught relevant?
Was there anything unusual about the missionary’s religious views or teachings, or would most people agree it was that standard-issue Christianity (denominational differences aside)?
Did people in the town misunderstand or misinterpret something the missionary taught?
Did they accurately interpret standard-issue Christian teachings in a way that led the ponies to become less efficient? (E…g., deciding it was important for the ponies to have a day of rest on the Sabbath or something?)
Did efficiency at the mine as a whole go down or just the ponies?
Did the missionary suggest / demand something which when enacted reduced the effieciency of the ponies?
NO.
Based on truth, but very much generalized I assume.
Did the missionary make this suggestion knowing it would impair the ponies’ efficiency?
If the above answer is “I don’t know,” might it have been reasonable (in your opinion) to expect someone to anticipate the impairment?
Did the suggestion “directly” involve the ponies? For example, “Ya know, it would be a good idea if you did such and such with the ponies”?
Or was the suggestion something that wouldn’t necessarily involve ponies, but it was logically extended to include them?
Did folks start riding the ponies more, so as to go sin a good distance away?
