Plot[]
One day, Mr. Dizzy decided to help Mr. Clumsy hang up a picture and Murphy's Law strikes. Mr. Dizzy hangs the picture upside-down. Mr. Clumsy tries to fix it only to slip and pull both the frame and the curtain down with him and the curtain pole to knock a vase of flowers over. Luckily, the vase didn't break, until Mr. Dizzy picked up the vase, slipped on the spilled water, and dropped it.
After picking up all sixty-six pieces of the vase, they head to the store to buy some glue to repair the vase with. They soon meet Mr. Wrong in town who tells them that they need to use toothpaste instead of glue. Mr. Dizzy and Mr. Clumsy are reluctant at Mr. Wrong's case but forget their reluctance when Mr. Wrong accidentally empties out the bag and the sixty-six broken pieces become eighty-eight pieces. Mr. Wrong decides to help his friends fix the vase with toothpaste and the whole place becomes littered with toothpaste and vase pieces. Mr. Dizzy and Mr. Clumsy leave Mr. Wrong upon realizing that he doesn't know what he was doing wasn't the right way to fix a vase. In the end, the two Mr. Men decide to use tape to put the vase back together. Mr. Dizzy might not be the smartest Mr. Man but he does know how to fix a vase properly.
