Ford, who insists he will not step down, was on hand to sign the figurines. The sale of 1,000 &quot;Robbie Bobbies&quot; was conceived before Ford admitted last week that he had smoked crack cocaine in &quot;one of my drunken stupors.&quot; But the furor did not mute demand for the little statuettes - a recreation of Ford's head on a springy neck - with lines that stretched around the cavernous City Hall lobby. We weren't quite sure how it was going to work out.&quot; Jay White told the Toronto Star he lined up at City Hall more than three hours early to get a Ford bobblehead.</p><br clear="all"/>
