Paper Routes

The Paper Routes scam appeared in "Read All About Ed". Eddy got the idea, which was to take on multiple paper routes in order to make a lot of money, from Edd, who had a paper route and was making some money from it. Unfortunately, Eddy's idea was largely unworkable, due to the vast quantities of newspapers they would have to deliver. Double D pitched in to help, though, and soon rigged up a machine that would allow them to deliver papers much more easily. Soon the machine malfunctioned, however, and the newspapers ended up scattered around the cul-de-sac. To make matters worse, the Eds would have to pick up the papers and deliver them correctly if they wanted to get paid. As the Eds got to work on the cleanup, it began to rain, making things worse for them. At the end of the episode, the evening papers were delivered, burying the Eds under another mountain of newspapers and making their work much harder.

Trivia

 * This is one of the few times the Eds have done someone else's work in order to make money. Other examples include Ed working for Rolf in "Will Work for Ed" and the Eds helping out Jimmy on his Super Duper Scammy Whammy in "Stuck in Ed".
