'...I, for one, have never heard of any superstitions are based on jealousy...'


Well, Dave, I have come to believe that when a person emits an irrational, hostile reaction to something nice about another person, then that reaction is founded in jealousy.

Whether it's a kid vandalizing someone's garden, an artist sneering at another's work, or a lover getting angry for no good reason, it's all jealousy. And when it's a person making up stupid reasons for someone not to be happy and whistle, it's also jealousy.

I'd like to have a bumpersticker that says 'Jealousy - it's the crazy emotion.'

Occasionally, there's someone whose whistling is irritating, but that's not the reason for all this b.s.
