Is it just me, or do people named "Jody" have more interesting lives on average than people with other names, with the possible exception of girls/women whos first names end in "i" (Tiffani, Brittani, etc.)?
In this thread, we describe the fascinating lives of Jodys that we know.
Jody #1: Turned to drugs and alcohol in HS. Found Jesus, and attended a small Bible College. Married an older woman who was very cute and personable, but who "babied" him because his mother had passed away when he was young. Became Youth Pastor of a large Baptist church. Was known for his strong personality and occasionally bad temper, and was very dogmatic about social and political issues. Lost his job. Starting screwing various skanks around town. His wife divorced him. Still, everybody seems to love him.
Jody #2: A normal kid in HS. Everybody loved him because he was cool to hang out with, despite being very tall, skinny, and unattractive. He became a roofer and does OK. On FB, it appears that his exwife was a psychopathic stalker, and he got custody of his teenage daughter.
Jody #3: The goofy nerdy kid in the HS band (several kids were nerdy, but he was the goofiest by far). Was a country music DJ in college and a few years afterward. Later became a funeral home director.
Jody #4: A girl in my grad school class who seemed boring to the point of being asexual. On 1 occasion, she let me copy her notes from a class that I had missed. When I offered to repay the favor, she smiled and said "you can buy me a drink later". I thought it was strange that the girls sitting with her in the library smiled at each other when she said that. After studying for another hour or 2, I felt a great debt of gratitude to her, so I asked her if she prefered Coke or Diet Coke, and she just gave me a confused look. I then went to the vending machine and bought her a Coke, and all the girls at her table starting laughing when I gave it to her. Apparently she had wanted me to take her to a local bar after studying that night, and I totally missed it because she was not that type. We still keep in touch on FB. She never married, but she hasn't missed a Braves home game in something like 4 years.
Jody #5: Everybody in HS suspected he was gay but he never came out of the closet. Worked for a local florist all through school, and purchased it from the owner after he graduated college. Became mayor of my small town, and is somewhat famous for turning our crappy Elementary School auditorium into a major concert venue. Robert Earl Keen performed there, and the Embers' annual concerts sell out every year.
