The “What’s wrong with Bob?” joke actually goes all the way back to high school theater for me. The very first play I was involved in was a student-written and -directed spoof of Snow White entitled Snow White and the Seven Hermits. The Hermits, much like the Dwarves of the original, had creative, unusual names. But instead of “Doc,” we had “Bob.” When Snow White asked him about it he got very sharp and screamed “Yes, Bob! What’s wrong with Bob? Lots of people are named Bob!” And it has stuck with me ever since.

I guess you had to be there to REALLY appreciate it.
