You are the type of person who is hardworking and industrious, who knows your job and what needs to be done. Family and friends have given up asking you out for lunch because you never pick up the check. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at a going out of business sale seeking to buy either a set of tires or a birthday gift for your grandfather. Be on the lookout for slightly overweight pizza delivery guys. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter M, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 909967. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).

As a Brown Pragmatox, you are down-to-earth and practical. You are hard working and industrious.

Her husband of twelve years, Paul Pumpernickel has dumped her and their three young children to pursue insurance alternatives with Tricia Comer -- Smilin' Ted's sister and business partner in the All Comers Insurance Agency. Pollyana is distraught, to say the least. Paul Pumpernickel had been the dutiful househusband and caring father in his marriage partnership with Pollyana, but those duties fell onto the heavily burdened shoulders of Pollyana. The burden was too much. Pollyana's Pet Palace plundered into oblivion, leaving Pollyana penniless and jobless. Her only alternative was our government's public assistance program -- what you and I know as welfare. She's not pleased with her current social status, and neither, apparently is Winston Smythe Kennsington III, who ridicules poor Pollyana at every opportunity.
