Ol' Bob's in need of mind-altering pharmaceuticals.
Actually it wouldn't be a bad idea if a bunch of jackboots and a Black Maria were sent to hypertensive ol' Bob's house, to pick him up and carry him into the
nacht und nebel.
It'd go against our nature, against the way we prefer things be done, but it'd be special for Bob.
Bob is a tired old man who's dealt with a great deal of disappointment and discouragement in his life. He's expecting us to do this.
So before he passes on, why not make him happy by not disappointing him?
