At the Spa
“Pa, how’s about goin’ to the spa?” asked Ma to her husband Mr. I. Saah.
He answered, “ Bah, only girls use a spa! Why do you think spa
rhymes with bra?”

and I heard ‘im comment, ‘Ah !’ ”
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!
