Story 208
They Began to Sob
Bob and Rob were called “The Blob” and “The Squab,” respectively; and
“The Slobs, collectively.
They thought about becoming Navy gobs, but refused not liking their
would-be jobs of mopping ship decks with swabs. So instead they
started to hobnob with the mob. Soon they pulled their first bank
job. Caught red-handed, they immediately began to sob.
In jail they would continually sob, realizing how wrong it was to rob!
