Oh that was cute. And even after solving the mechanism the answer was funny!

Superb clueing, awesome construction, interesting mechanism and fun answer when the AHA hits. In other words a usual Birnholz puzzle. Liked it a bunch!
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
