Cardboard Box - Tumblr Posts

This is probably one of the most unusual trios of objects you could think of. How could they possibly be related?
Well, back in elementary and middle school, I (like most students) had assignments where I needed to learn the definition of group of vocab words, then use them in a sentence. Initially, these sentences were disconnected, but after a while I began stringing them together into little stories, most of which were about a guy named Bob and his various misfortunes. His first three adventures involved a pickle, pencil, and box, which stuck around for his later vocab story instalments.
(Also, my knowledge of law was limited at the time, so Bob's antagonist was a judge who would always say "I contractict that!" and who knows what that's supposed to mean from someone meant to be impartial.)
