Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk - S3-E11

Question: I don't know anything about the stock market, so how could Homer spend $5,200 on beer when he paid only $25?

Yoshi

Chosen answer: He doesn't spend $5200 on beer. Marge just assumes he has because she thinks he sold his stock at the high of $52; whereas he really sold the whole lot for $25.

Black Widower - S3-E21

Question: Why did Sideshow Bob want to kill Selma? I don't ever recall her doing anything to upset him.

Chosen answer: Insurance and to get revenge on Bart.

But how does killing an aunt that Bart doesn't really like get revenge on him?

Even if Bart "doesn't really like" Selma, he doesn't seem to hate her so much that he would be totally careless about her death. If nothing else, he probably realises that his mother would be upset.

He doesn't DISlike Aunt Selma. In any event, he probably doesn't want her to die.
