A young slatten49 asked the rich old BadBobby how he made his money.

BadBobby fingered his expensive wool vest and said, "Well, Slat, it was back in 1932, the depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel."

"I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents."

"The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $9.80."

"After that," BB continued, "I invested the $9.80 into a market stall so I could polish and display a lot more apples. I began making about $50 a month from then on."

"Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars."

"Unfortunately," BB the Squid continued, "Much of that has been lost to you dastardly Marines at the poker table."

True story.

Yep... unless Mrs. BB has put aside enough to live on, while keeping it out of his reach.

Well, that would explain why BB receives an allowance.
Smart woman!
