Jealous but Not Bitter
Life as an Average Joe
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
The vast majority of these true stories are drawn from the people and events of The Lumber and Wood Store, a lumberyard in London, Ontario, where the wellspring of inspiration ran deep. Only once in a lifetime, would one expect to encounter such a unique assembly of imbeciles; in fact, half-baked buffoons blossomed at L and W like flowers in a pile of donkey dung. Like the planets in perfect alignment, so many nitwits in one place, at one time, was a rarity of astronomical proportions. I hope you laugh the way my old co-worker Dick did, when I told him one of my stories; he laughed so hard his false teeth went flying out of his mouth! So have a drink and enjoy. Let me introduce to you an anomaly, something so rare that one could only call these people: the perfect storm of morons. J. Clews

About the Book
Welcome to all things Joe! Telling true stories of London, Ontario, Jealous But Not Bitter is a satirical tongue-in-cheek look at average Joes—the men and women who make this world go around. From truck drivers to teenagers, security guards to secretaries, cashiers to construction workers, the irreverent to the immature: all who are downtrodden, overlooked and overworked, will enjoy these hilarious true stories about the bumbling nobodies, grunts and gumbies who are just trying to get by.
Jealous But Not Bitter is chock full of information that all everyday workers need to know, such as:
• How to impress during the job interview • How to deal with your stupid boss • How to call in sick (when you’re not sick) • What to say when you screw up at work
The stories in this collection offer some very intriguing information, some of which will be useful and some that is just plain silly: like what to say if your feet smell, the secret to looking young, cavemen in heaven, bricklayers on Mars, and much more.
So sit back, have a drink, laugh, and enjoy!
