==Plot==
When Marge is cleaning out the attic and looking for old things to send away to charity, Homer and the children refuse to let her, prompting Marge to look at all the junk she is trying to get rid of. She shows Homer several skis he never used since buying them after the Nagano Olympics. To spite Marge, he decides to use them, so the family go on a skiing trip. When they are there, Marge decides that she wants to avoid skiing or snowboarding for fear of injury, which makes her stay at the ski lodge. Ironically, she winds up breaking her leg here when a loose-hanging cuckoo clock falls on it. She is sent to the hospital where she is told that she must stay there until her cast is removed.
In the meantime, Lisa offers to take her place, making a structured plan for Homer and Bart to do some of the chores, which Lisa chooses through a chore hat. Unfortunately, Homer and Bart do them in an extremely apathetic, ineffective, sandy-eyed manner. Marge is enjoying her time in the hospital, due to getting a massage, among other things. The lazy lifestyles of Homer and Bart have taken their toll on the house, which is now a disorganized, filthy hovel with trash, and Lisa struggling to make ends meet. She eventually calls Marge and asks if she can return, but Marge, who enjoys the lifestyle of lying all day in bed not working, lies to Lisa saying she is still too injured to come back. Lisa, angered and desperate for answers, sees the ghost of Lucille Ball, who has an idea to get revenge. She suggests that she pull a clever trick on Homer and Bart while they are asleep. She does just that, and using green poster paint mixed with oatmeal on the men, she tricks them into thinking that they have intense leprosy.
The next morning, Homer and Bart are told by Lisa, who hopes this will make them clean up the house, they have leprosy from living in dirty conditions. After the Virtual Doctor computer program confirms that Homer and Bart indeed have leprosy, Homer and Bart panic and decide to visit Ned Flanders in search of a cure. Ned sends Homer and Bart to a leper colony in Hawaii, where they will receive electric needle treatment and sanded. Once Marge's cast has finally come off (and her excess leg hair has been waxed), she comes home to see Lisa finally finished cleaning the entire house. They decide to seek out Homer and Bart in Hawaii. When they arrive, Lisa admits that she only played a trick on Homer and Bart, though they already know the leprosy is fake because Homer ate one of its sores and found it tasty; however, the whole family wants to stay there on account of it being a "free vacation", despite Homer and Bart suffering through the painful treatments.
