If You've Ever Had a Job Going Door-to-Door, You Totally Get It.

One of the things I most appreciate about Jon Horne is that he is not the military archetype. For instance, you might assume he'd be really into security, but the man seldom thinks to lock up the house at night.  More than once I've found the back door gaping open because he forgot to shut it completely after grilling out; one time it was at 7am the following morning.  (Click HERE to understand why I do not criticize this sort of "home security method").

But every now and then Jon will get a little intense about the way things ought to be and threaten government intervention.

See Exhibit A:

Two doe-eyed, teenage girls knocked on our door last week peddling magazine subscriptions in order to earn college tuition money.  Naturally Jon Horne wanted to help.  However, for some reason his fraud antenna went up during their conversation.  After a little Googling, Jon declared this magazine deal to be a "Ponzi Scheme!" (Everything Jon Horne dislikes is generally declared to be a Ponzi Scheme in this house; said item's similarity to a real Ponzi Scheme is irrelevant).  He then took the time and effort to fashion this sign and purposed to affix it to our front door.

Commence Erin Horne eye-rolling, "Is the exclamation point really necessary?"  After a few shared words and laughs, this sign never made it to our home's exterior... but it's cousin-sign did.  Please see below for Exhibit B which greeted Jon Horne the following day as he arrived home from work.

Exhibit B:

(Big Erin Horne grin)  Zing!
