The Washington Monument is a monument in Washington, D.C. Its designer is Robert Mills.

History

The Simpson family visited here when they were traveling around Washington, D.C.

Homer includes Robert Mills in The Lazy Hall of Fame for "[putting] so little thought and effort into designing a monument", yet getting a lot of money for it.

Behind the Laughter

In real life, a competition was held in 1836 for designs for the Washington Monument. Mills was the winner and the prize was $500, equivalent to about $12,500 in 2013 (when Homer Simpson's Little Book of Laziness was published).
