Default Rollo's Job occupation did not seem like something the character would do for a livin

The way Rollo strolled around and dressed, it was very hard for me to believe that he pumped gas and changed oil-LOL That particular job title didn;t seem like something Rollo would be willing to do for money.

That's true. He always dressed pretty sharp. Remember though in "Sanford" he appeared to be working for Fred & Cal because he was always helping Cal move something. I guess he switched jobs during the time Sanford & Son was off the air & before Sanford premiered lol

If I didn't know Lamont worked in junk, I'd swear he pumped gas for a living.

Rollo was more the pimp type, IMO.

Was'nt Rollo a petty thief. I always knew Fred thought so.
==========================================================
Fred: "Rollo, is'nt it kind of late for you to be out?

Rollo: "Why?"

Fred: "Because you will miss bed check and the detention farm."

Yeah remember the ep when Rollo and Lamont werre trying to start a movie career and they said

Rollo: I don't want to be pumping gas and changing oil the rest my life

Lamont:I don;t want to be selling junk the rest of my life


And then Fred steals the show once again by saying

"Well you why don't you sell junk Rollo and Lamont you change oil and pump gas"_LOL

I liked the part when Rollo gives Fred the brochure about the acting.

Fred: "Whats this; a summons?"

According to Fred, Rollo made his living as a thief.
