Bob was wandering around Home Depot in the beginning of his hobo career when he found the item that saved his life: a pamphlet. It would be a potential money maker (that is, until he mentioned the fact that he was a hobo to the manager of Burger King.), his only belonging, a matter of priceless sentimental value. All this he did not know, however, when he first saw it at Home Depot. It caught his attention because it was bright, obnoxious red with a hideous floral pattern. Unfortunately, he was illiterate, so he had to go to his father (who was starting his jail sentence at this point) to get the pamphlet decoded. Bob wheedled the pamphlet's contents out of his father, but not without constant screaming and tantrums.
Bob, with an uncanny memory, managed to build his first cardboard house. It was a little unstable and drafty, but he was immensely proud. Later he would realize that the waterproof sealing spray recommended in the pamphlet would have been helpful, but he didn't have the money to buy it. This was the reason he constantly was building a house.
So, thank Bob's dad for everything that Bob has to live for.
