Page "Groundskeeper Willie" Paragraph 2

As far as family, Groundskeeper Willie once told Principal Skinner that he had seen his own father being lynched for stealing a pig and, on another occasion, he expanded on his father's death, relating that his corpse had simply been thrown into a bog rather than receive a proper burial ( presumably in the aftermath of his sentence for pig theft ).

However, his father's fate was later called into question in " Monty Can't Buy Me Love ", in which he met two very similar characters that he claimed were his parents.

In " Lemon of Troy ", it is shown that the female groundskeeper at neighbouring Shelbyville Elementary School looks and speaks identically to Groundskeeper Willie.

Despite his usually gruff, unrefined mannerisms, on occasion Groundskeeper Willie has demonstrated gentlemanly behaviour.

He once came to the aid of wrongfully accused Homer Simpson ( in " Homer Badman "), where Groundskeeper Willie revealed that his pastimes included secretly videotaping couples.

Groundskeeper Willie's amateur video exonerated Homer of his sexual harassment accusations, although ironically the publicity led to Smartline's profile of the groundskeeper as " Rowdy Roddy Peeper.

" Not always a bachelor, Groundskeeper Willie was once engaged to Shary Bobbins as mentioned in " Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala ( Annoyed Grunt ) cious ", until she recovered her eyesight ; at which point, in Groundskeeper Willie's words, " Suddenly the ugliest man in Glasgow wasn't good enough for her!

" During a Springfield Elementary Science Fair, student Lisa Simpson featured the Scotsman in her project.

The experiment showed high society was not beyond reach of the lowliest member of society ( a. k. a. Groundskeeper Willie ).
