Do You Know What Your Problem Is?

your problem is your crippling envy of legendary door-to-door salesman Horace Bartholomew Schmidt -- the Man In The Plaid Suit himself. You should find ways of going beyond this affliction, even if you never heard of him. It's dangerous to envy someone you've never heard of or think about.

    Why do YOU seem t be about the only one that knows about this? Speaking of this though, WHO exactly are the joneses nd WHY should I want to emulate them? I mean I DON'T want to be ostentatious and CERTAINLY don't want to be addicted! I figure the jonses must be BOTH if EVERYONE has to fight to keep up, and going after drugs is named after them!

    BTW I have NO boat, NO plane, my car is 11 years old, and I am EVEN hesitating to buy a tablet because the one I like best costs about $500, and I would rather wait. I guess I can't keep up with the joneses. And I don't take drugs, so....

      I will never ever try to keep up with the Joneses! Especially Mrs. Jones!

      Doing that would be very detrimental to the health of my marriage.

    I wrote a song about keeping up with the Jones's called 'Average Joe". Thats all I know, but you are correct Thunderbird, I AM jealous of any man who can look good in a plaid suit. Need to work on that... Not everyone can do plaid. Get over it.

      Did you ever record, or have it recorded, John? I wanna hear it!

      I've been yearning to hear some of your stuff since you mentioned you had some Cd's or tapes awhile back.

        Yeah I have it recorded, but its a long story why it isnt online yet. Im going to get it that way soon though... it was actually the very song that got me my pub deal. You'll hear some stuff soon.

        I can type the lyrics?

          SWEET!

          I can't wait!!

          I feel like a kid at Christmas time waiting for that long awaited Christmas morning, lol!

          Oh and typing the lyrics would be cool too as long as you are comfortable with that.

      Just post them or you'll have to PM a lot of people. It's not arrogant when someone asks to see them. And I want to hear some of your songs too!

        I've never liked plaid, so why would I envy the salesman in a plaid suit?

          It's hard to face up to your non-actual envy of someone who doesn't exist.
