Joseph: Dad! May I have the PS2?
Dad: No, you still have your Nintendo 64, right?
Joseph: It can play DVD's.
Dad: Okay, be prepared, I'll drive you to the Best Buy.
Dad, this time on his mind: I'll have to keep up with the Joneses!

Get the Jonesing (Jones-ing) mug.Jonese is a very unique name first of all
& she is so kind and loyal but she can be rude if u get in her way. Jonese is into bad boys so she loves a good challenge in her relationships. she believes in god and she loves her bestfriend almost all the boys/girls are obsessed with her well like 10-15 boys/girls she has lots of friends. But she keeps her circle very small. She will trust you but if you break her trust that’s the end of it for you. Don’t mess with a JONESE instead of pissing her off once you find one keep her CLOSE.
