You stumble through the "fun" house, fleeing in terror from your latest creepy encounter. In the hall of mirrors, you see a door tucked between the mirror that makes you look really tall and the mirror that makes you look like Jim Morrison. You duck through it, and find a small clearing. In that clearing stands a boxer, an assembler of boxes by his trade.
"Hey!" he shouts. "You can't be in here! This area is not open to the public."
"That's a lie," you say. "Lie, lie lie."
He softens a little. "Yeah, okay, that's true. I mean, it's true what you said, that what I said isn't true. You can be back here if you want. But it's pretty boring. I mean, I just make boxes all day long.
"That sounds okay," you say. "Could I get a job? I'm asking only workman's wages."
"Sorry, but I don't need any help. D'you want some boxes, though?"
It was lucky of you to run into that guy. Free boxes!
You suddenly feel less lucky.

Occurs at The "Fun" House while Lucky!
History
- Was a Clover Adventure prior to Jan 1, 2022.
References
- The adventure text is based on the lyrics of Simon and Garfunkel's song The Boxer:
- "Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job / But I get no offers."
- "In the clearing stands a boxer / and a fighter by his trade..."
- (Chorus) "Lie la lie / Lie la lie lie, lie la lie..."
- This area of the "fun" house seems to be a reference to the Springfield box factory that Bart traveled to in an episode of the The Simpsons.
