A five-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: text explaining that according to your father's will, you only inherit his fortune if you spend a weekend in a haunted house. Panel 2, captioned 'A week later,' a worn-out red-haired woman and a tired man say 'Okay, we did it. By God we did it.' 'Where's the money?' Panel 3: the pair sit exhausted at a table facing a bald lawyer and several onlookers. Panel 4: the bald man explains the note from their father says that if the house was really haunted they'll make a fortune overturning human understanding of science and the afterlife, and if it wasn't haunted then they don't deserve the fortune. Panel 5, on a black background: the woman says 'This is why nobody liked Dad, isn't it?' and the man says 'You know, I'm just noticing the fortune listed here has a minus sign in front of it.' Votey: a hand-drawn gravestone reading 'SUCK ON THAT, LOSERS!'
