The Story of Bob - Part 2

Ok.. where were we? Let's recap, Bob - rich young punk, donkey racer through family property, give parents whole load of problems, ask dad for half share of dad's moolah, dad gives in, the story continues...

Bob was loaded! literally and figuratively. And who's willing to bet that he has no problems carrying all those money bags? I am absolutely certain Bob's friends were most willing to help him carry those money bags and spend some coins! Isn't it funny how 'friends' seem to come out of the woodwork, attracted by the sight and smell of money, but when the money dries up, the friendship also withers. Choose our friends wisely! So Bob & Co. headed overseas to spend his money. Nope, he didn't use that money to invest and earn more money, he splurged! He spent it on sex, booze and parties! Partaaaayyyyyy.. whoo whoo whoo! Easy come, easy go, ain't that the life?

So while Bob was partying happily, he failed to see that a recession was going on in that country he was in. And one fine day, he woke up from his sex, booze and party session to find that not only did he have a massive headache and hangover, his money was gone, his friends also deserted him, and the country was in recession. Man's gotta eat, you know, and Bob didn't have any money to eat. What a rollercoaster life Bob was in! One minute it was steak and vodka, the next it was.. nada, nothing, zip, kosong! Kacang putih pun taada lah..

It was crunch time. What was a man to do to find some food? Remember, Bob was a rich young punk .. now he's just a young punk. So this young punk called Bob started getting desperate and he was even willing to work.. oooh, the horror, the shock.. rich kid working? What will the neighbours say?.. But Bob was too hungry to care what his neighbours might say, and at last, he found a job.. a nice little job looking after cute little pigs.. NOT! Do you know that Jews do not eat pork? They won't go near a pig to save their lives, it's against their religion and everything about pigs is detestable. So Bob got himself a taboo job, not the kinda job any self respecting Jew would grab at.

As I write this, I'm amazed to find that Bob fell so low, to get a job tending pigs, the lowest of the low, (is there any job lower than this? perhaps not oh).. what did I say about rollercoaster? Let us learn a lesson here, that we must have wisdom in living our lives. God gave us a brain, let us use it.

Just as I thought Bob was about to throw in the towel, I continued reading the story and find, suddenly, a million gazillion lightbulbs went off in Bob's head! Booom... "I see the light," says Bob...

to be continued....
