+ | {{tvtropes|StringTheory|In many media,}} crimes and conspiracy theories are solved on bulletin boards. "Leads" are connected to each other using string, in order to sort out connections and possibilities. [[Beret Guy]], eccentric as always, manipulates this by making just such a setup solely to determine where to buy the thumbtacks and string for use in it. The joke is that the bulletin board is entirely self-referential -- without a need for thumbtacks and string to hold things on the bulletin board, there would be no need for the bulletin board itself, but because of the bulletin board's string and thumbtacks, Beret Guy needs the items advertised on it. An additional minor joke may be that the Office Depot ad near the bottom of the bulletin board has markers that are often called [https://www.perkinselearning.org/technology/blog/how-create-digital-pushpin-map "digital pushpins"]. | ||
− | + | The title text continues the self-reference theme: Without a need to display a receipt, there would be no need for a tattoo of the receipt. | |
