So, what I’m going to bring up is a weirdly recurring pattern in some of the earlier books that I’m going to assume was a running gag, but even then I’m not sure. Whatever the case, I’ve noticed this ever since I was a kid, and I have seen literally no one else bring this up ever, so here goes. Maybe I’m just cornplating, but idk, I want to hear other people’s thoughts on this.

In Cabin Fever, Greg recalls his math teacher, Mr. Sparks, would stand on a chair whenever he had something important he wanted the class to remember. However, one day, one of the legs on his chair broke, and it resulted in him breaking his collarbone, and suing the school over the incident. Okay, fine, whatever. Now let’s continue…

In Hard Luck, Greg is surprised to see Aunt Martina attending the family reunion, as she hadn’t shown up prior when she became rich. Aunt Martina had been staying at a hotel, and while at the buffet, she saw a room that had more food in it. But when trying to enter the room, it turned out it wasn’t a room at all, and it was actually a full-length mirror that was reflecting the room she was in, causing her to crash into it. This resulted in Aunt Martina breaking… her collarbone, and she decided to… sue the hotel over the incident. Huh… just like Mr. Sparks.

Finally, we have Double Down. Greg counters Susan’s claim that the family has a lot of geniuses by pointing out how stupid Uncle Gary is. Uncle Gary had been cutting down a large branch hanging over his driveway while still sitting on it, and the result ended in what you’d expect. Uncle Gary got hurt, and specifically he… ended up… breaking his… collarbone… I mean, nobody got sued this time, so that’s different at least, but still…

So you can probably tell what the pattern is, and I just find it so fascinating. Was this an attempt by Jeff to make a subtle recurring gag throughout the series where a character will injure their collarbone, and depending on the situation, they’d sue over their injury? Or were all of these just coincidences? I find that hard to believe though, given just how specific it is to break one’s collarbone of all bones. Not that it’s necessarily uncommon, but in media, when a character suffers a (relatively speaking) minor injury, you always hear them talking about breaking their arm or leg, and not specifically the collarbone.

It should be noted that Double Down is currently the final instance of this running gag(?), as it has not shown up in any books since. I guess Jeff either got tired of it or forgot about it, or maybe it just was never a gag at all.

What are your thoughts on this?

this one's a little short 😥😥😥
