Show Description
Shep discusses slobism. Some of the topics he talks about: The turtle with the plastic shell. Life is like silly putty because it assumes any shape you want, but it always returns to the original lumpy shape. A barber in Texas refuses to give crew cuts to men unless they have a note from their wives. The Sultan of Zanzibar fails his drivers test. Favorite words and expressions of the slob Slobs at the 1963-64 New York Worlds Fair And more slobism - Shep moves quickly from one slob topic to another.
