Key FOB- what does "FOB" stand for?

Fob was the little vest pocket for a watch and "fob chain" was the
chain and hodler that attached to the watch to keep it in place.
I suspect "key fob" was shortened from there.

And, in line with your .sig quote, here's another:

        You should never try to teach a pig to sing.
        It's a waste of time and annoys the pig.
