John and Jane

Perhaps you have wondered about the current occupation of the fetching couple (I call them "John and Jane") that we first met selling Folger's coffee, later to be found spreading Country Crock upon their muffins. Well, wonder no longer -- I've found them! Apparently, John is a frequent flyer with a penchant for ball-games (though I'm not sure what type), and Jane rents cars on occasion. If you ever have the opportunity to be on hold with Travelocity for thirty to forty-five minutes, you too can be caught up on the further adventures of John and Jane.

John, you see, has a Big Game the same weekend that he planned to travel to New York. Jane doesn't know how to check for business e-mails in her junk e-mail folder. John has a rental car that he isn't certain how to cancel, and poor Jane is trying to figure out whether or not she can take her embroidery scissors on the plane. (Actually, John's no help at all on that one -- he tells her to check the website!) Oh, the adventures of the upper-middle class! How will they ever get out of this one? Will John make it to the Big Game? Will Jane lose her embroidery scissors to airport security? Sadly, we may never know. Perhaps we should bring them muffins and coffee to loosen their tongues!
