Sounds like the "promotion" was bogus... he just had the extra responsibilities on top of still washing the dishes. And probably didn't get a raise either. Not justification for arson, but the "promotion" sounds as if he was handed the key to the executive washroom, and then handed the toilet brush to clean it.

There's a headline meme on Fark where, if the story is about a hot female celebrity and sex and/or nudity is involved, the headline will be something to the effect of "Hottie McSexypants nude photos [string of random words nobody will read because they've already clicked the link]". "Purple monkey dishwasher" is the one that stuck in everyone's mind.

Did he spank the monkey? Is the monkey related to the STD monkey in Ohio? Do other inmates know not to play drop the soap with the thief?

The original phrase was part of a Simpson's episode entitled "The PTA Disbands" which aired in 1995. Bart whispers a message about the teachers being ready to crack to the last person in a line of protesters. The message is whispered from the back to the front, and like a game of Telephone, the person in front gets the first part of the message, but then adds "purple monkey dishwasher".

On Fark, the phrase was used once in a greenlit thread in 2006 about monkeys successfully passing along information, although the way it's been traditionally in subsequent Fark headlines used stems from a 2007 headline:

Japanese lesbian begins run for parliament purple monkey dishwasher I once killed a man. Let's face it, you stopped reading this headline after the first two words

http://www.fark.com/comments/2881216

That's how it's been used as a cliche since then.
