Member Since: March 2004 Posts: 718 Send Message	Came across a little ditty yesterday with the old meaning of the name bob as a shilling in old money and Bob the shorter name for Robert and bob as a slang word for punching.......... "If your Bob doesn't give our Bob, the bob he owes our Bob, our Bob's going to give your Bob a bob in the eye"... Great eh???? Anymore ??
