User blog:Ezekielguy/Why is "Bob" funny?

When I walk in to school, I see a couple kids in my year. One kid walks up to the other and says "Hey." The other kid says "Hey" too. Then the other kid makes a really bizzare face and says "BOB!!!" and both kids burst in to laughter.

This is not the first time I've seen this. Geez, kids my age always think it's hysterical if you say "Bob" or "Tom" or even "Jim". This has been going on since KINDERGARDEN, and I think these guys need to grow up.

Why is "Bob" funny anyway? Is it because it's a palindrome? Maybe it's because it just sounds funny. And what if they met a real guy named Bob and upset him? Would they just laugh? Anyway, I always see kids doing it, even when I travel. Can someone tell me why "Bob" is so funny?
