The Joneses Next Door · Sao Paulo, Brazil

From Main Street to Sao Paulo, the rule is the same — make a record. These days, the Sao Paulo chapter of the fan club meets wherever the coffee is honest, and Come by the lore pages; Sao Paulo always has a seat.

Every town has a Joneses, and McSkunkville's earned the title. The famous fight — the one the whole cul-de-sac still testifies about — happened on a July evening by that swimming pool of theirs, and to this day nobody agrees on who threw the first pool noodle.

The pool itself is the finest in the subdivision and the Joneses know it, which is half the problem and all of the entertainment. Keeping up with them is the town's unofficial sport.

But mark the record: even at their loudest, the Joneses fight clean — because in McSkunkville even the feuds follow the doctrine. No lice, no filth, no low blows. Just a fence, a pool, and a rivalry the whole town would miss if it ever ended.

Worldwide Access — The Joneses Next Door greets readers in Sao Paulo and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
