Words of wisdom from Boss Bob
Boss Bob said some pretty interesting stuff,when he was in a good mood. One sure giveaway was he'd play his imaginary trumpet and make his trumpet sound. I was talking to another guy that I ran into at the store the other day that used to work with Boss Bob and myself and when we were talking the guy ended up laughing so much he pissed his pants. Anyway, Bob used to say "all toilet paper has 4 and 1/2" squares" .Which back in the 80's I think was true. He'd also say "I hope to shit in your easterbasket" that meant he was answering yes to a question that you asked him. Then there was my favorite "you're talking like a man with a paper asshole",which neither one of us knew what it meant exactly. He said it was just something his dad would say. It kind of meant the person was full of shit and/or the person just didn't know what they were talking about,and/or their idea was just too far fetched. He used to also say he wasn't going to work past 50 years of age. He ended up working until he was 70,got diagnosed with brain cancer and stopped working and was dead about a week later. We had our ups and downs but I actually felt kind of sorry for the guy after learning his end of life story.

Re: Words of wisdom from Boss Bob
I saw the guy and asked him if he had heard Bob passed away and he had. Then I started telling him some bob stories. One of them was "remember when he was in a good mood he'd say "walk this way" and then he'd walk all weird" like monty python ministry of silly walks (or whatever it was called). So as I was telling Bob stories we were both laughing alot. This is my small hometown village grocery store so not a whole lot of traffic but I did notice a couple other people hanging around just to witness all the action. So I said to the guy "how about when he was in a really good mood and would play his imaginary trumpet?" and the guy didn't know what I was talking about,so I did my boss Bob playing the trumpet,he'd pretend like he was holding a trumpet (most of the time unless he was busy with his hands,more on that in a moment) so the guy was "oh yeah " and we were laughing it up and I said "how about the serious mood swings,one second was the trumpet... Like one time he was scrubbing out his coffee cup using a scrub brush we kept at the sink and he was making his trumpet sounds and I told him I wouldn't use that scrub brush if I were you. And he said "why not little buddy" and I said "because Tom was using it to scrub the dog shit off his shoes this morning". So then we both started laughing our asses off and all of a sudden the guy stopped laughing immediately and his eyes got really big and he said "that's never happened to me before" and I was freaked out a little and he said "I just peed my pants a little bit" I looked down at his crotch and sure enough,there was a wet spot there,I could also here someone in the next aisle start laughing,then he and I laughed some more.
That guys name we'll say is jim and my name we'll say is jim ,and when we worked together we had another guy named jim come to work and Bob really had a dillemma on his hands,so much he called the three of us Jim's together for an emergency meeting. We have to do something about what he calls the 3 of us,because it will be total confusion when he calls out for one of us (according to him). So my friend Jim said "you can call me James" and Bob said that's good but there's still 2 jims left and I have to call jim jim,because I'm so used to that. So the new guy said "you can call me tapeworm" and Bob said tapeworm why tapeworm and the new guy said "I ate a 24" sub in 2 minutes one day at my old job,I was really hungry,after that everyone started calling me tapeworm" and Bob said that's no good,I'll never be able to remember that" How the fuck do you not remember that? That's how boss Bob was.

But then again, with his run on sentences, I think he may reading too many Cormac McCarthy novels.

Re: Words of wisdom from Boss Bob
I'll probably add to this from time to time. I don't know how I forgot this one,but he said it alot."Your asshole has 7 pounds of pressure". Never quite understood what that means,I don't think he did either,because I'd ask him and he'd just say "your asshole has 7 pounds of pressure". Another thing he really got a kick out of was he waould ask "how long is a chinaman?" I don't know the answer? Forever?

Re: Words of wisdom from Boss Bob
OK ,I think that's the answer,about 40 years too late. So "how long is a chinaman" answer "yes he is". I doubt if Bob and pantyboy knew the answer,someone probably pulled the same rib on Bob. Bob at times was pretty cool. He gave me a small playboy calender from like 1967 or something. He said a guy gave it to him when he was getting started in the trade and he gave it to me. I used the pictures quite a few times. I actually put it in a ziploc and put it under the bottom drawer of my roll around tool box. Somewhere I thought I also stashed some lsd in one of my boxes but I've never found it.

Re: Words of wisdom from Boss Bob
Another one....When I first started working over the summers,I was probably 14 or 15 at the time,I don't remember what I was trying to do but I remember it was an accident waiting to happen ( I didn't know that at the time). A nice guy there saw what I was doing and he corrected my set up and as he was telling me how it should be done Bob happens to walk by and he says "Jim,your dad told you (my dad owned the place but didn't work there,Bob was sort of the boss) not to bother the guys,they have work to do blah,blah" So the guy tells Bob that there was an accident waiting to happen so he was just showing me the correct procedure,and Bob says "how do you expect the kid to learn anything if everyone tells him the proper way of doing things?".
That guy that helped me was really nice around 30 years old and still a virgin and the guys rode him all day every day about that and one day the guy had a nervous breakdown type thing and ended up quitting. Out of all the guys that worked for my parents he was probably the one they liked best and the one they hated to see leave the most. He ended up starting a handyman type business,got married and had children and things turned out pretty good for him.
