The bartender, not a lover of children, scowls as Little
Bobby approaches.
“Hi!” says Little Bobby.
“Yeah, hi.”
“Can I have some peanuts?”
“We don’t have any peanuts.”
“Oh,” says Little Bobby, and leaves.
The next day he comes in again. “Hi!”
“Uh-huh.”
“Can I have some peanuts?”
“I told you, we don’t have any peanuts.”
“Oh. OK,” says Little Bobby, and leaves.
The next day he comes in again. “Hi!”
“What?” says the bartender.
“Can I have some peanuts?”
“Look, kid, I told you, we don’t have any peanuts!
If you ask me that again I’m going to NAIL YOUR ASS TO THE WALL!”
Little Bobby nods, “OK,” and leaves.
The next day he comes back. “Hi!” he says.
The bartender just looks at him.
“Do you have any nails?”
The bartender can’t believe this. “No! We don’t have any nails!”
“Good!” smiles Little Bobby. “Can I have some peanuts?”
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Big Bobby too is looking for peanuts. His last film, on Amazon
Prime, was made entirely in Athens for peanuts.
His next film, Faust:
The Movie, will also be made entirely in Athens for peanuts.
The search for peanuts continues.
