  11. There once was a guy named Robby. Now it was veritable that Robby was fraught with issues. He was noisome and not very cerebral. He lived in his parents basement. His parents’ patience began to wane and eventually they decided to give him a little money and oust him out on the streets. Out on the streets Robby realized he had to gain temerity or else. So Robby took what was left of his money and bought himself a very beat-up car. It had an askew rear bumper and when he drove it made a cacophony .He realized this but was to lazy to get up and get a job. One day he was driving and spotted a very urnate looking limo belonging to a man with lots of accolades. Robby made the decision to attempt to rob the car and get money for it. Fortunately as stated before Robby wasn’t really that smart. The only thing that impeded him was that it was locked. He never once thought to bust the window out; instead he was caught by the police as he sat yanking at the handle yelling at the car. Concurrently a local reporter saw this and thought it was hilarious. After Robby was sentenced to jail the reporter released an article on Robby and his incident. This sparked a revolution and the townspeople started riots to let Robby out. They said he did not have an adequate trial. The real reason though is that they had gotten use to Robby and wanted him out of jail so he could do more stupid things. Robby while in his incommodious cell caught word of this. The warden, who was very austere, did not want to give Robby any hope and put Robby in trepidation. In a few weeks the rioters got their wish and Robby was released from jail. The day Robby was set for release was torrid but still a queue formed along the jail. Robby, when released, was quoted verbatim, “I plan to give the people what they want. I’m gonna rob the thrift store. If anyone wants my autograph I’ll be in my hideout on Maple Street where I intend to evade the police.” And so the story of Robby started over the very next day.
