Homer is promoted, and gets a key to the executive bathroom. It is about a million square feet, and the interior looks like Versailles, with marble floors, gilded chandeliers, etc. Someone dries his hands with a pristine white towel, and throws it on the floor. A towel boy sprints out of nowhere, picks it up, and races off with it like a ball boy at Wimbledon.

A deer.
A female deer.

No, he lives at Springfield Retirement Castle.
