Mandy strained his abs trying to suppress his laughter.

And that was only because they had the carry dummy of Cary.
(For the kids: Andre's back was in bad shape from all the wrestling, and his sheer size, he could not carry Cary without hurting his back further, so they made a lightweight dummy to protect Andre's back.)

Congratulations, you just perfectly described the Futures market.
Everyone gambling, not on this poker hand, but on the NEXT hand, the one yet to be dealt.

And poor Mandy COULDN'T be banished, he had to stand there and take it. He sprained his abs trying to repress the laughter.

Exactly.
Rob said three words to Billy before the Mirical Max scene, three words that would soon make Mandy Potemkin the only on set injury in the movie.

He said to Billy, "Forget the script."

I guess you have also never heard the song "Mellow Yellow" either.

Oh well, Sometimes the jokes land, sometimes they don't.

Now imaging that he ate the Calm-Calm No Mi, which gave him the power to drain strong emotions from people...

*A Dutch Auction goes in reverse, with the caller dropping the lot price in stages, and the bidders balancing "wait until the price drops more" with "there's nothing left to buy." It's used when there are a number of identical lots, like stacks of lumber, or bushels of tulips.

I think you are conflating "auction" with "lottery."
In a lottery, the winner is chosen at random. Buying more tickets increases your chance of winning. A "standard auction*" goes by bidders increasing their bids until no one wants to challenge the keader.

Hold up, Chick-fil-a stopped donating to the Salvation Army?

When did Chick-fil-a stop being 'quietly' anti LGBT+?

One word: Ooooooh, goals!
(I don't count the happt/jealous squee as a word.)
