One day,an average Joe was walking down the street.An average Joe is a common person either male or female.This average Joe was lost.He did not know Jack about where he was going.By this,I mean he did not know anything about where to find things in the city.
So,Average Joe asked John Q Public for directions to the nearest bank.John Q Public is also a common person,male or female."She is Louis!." said John Q Public.This is an expression of surprise."She is Louis!Don't you know that all banks are closed today?It is Saturday.”
"For Pete's sake," said Average Joe.This is also an expression used to show a feeling like surprise or disappointment."For Pete's sake,I do not believe you." said Average Joe.He was being a doubting Thomas,someone who does not believe anything he is told.
At that moment,Joe Blow was walking down the street with a woman.Joe Blow is also an expression for a common man.Now,this Joe Blow was not walking next to a Plain Jane.A Plain Jane is a woman who is neither ugly nor pretty,she is simply plain.
Now the woman with Joe Blow was a real Sheila,a beautiful woman.Average Joe asked the woman if all banks were closed on Saturday."No way,Jose." she answered.This is a way of saying "No"."No way Jose".Many banks are open on Saturdays.Average Joe did not know either of these 2 people from Adam.That is he did not know them at all,but he followed their directions to the nearest bank.
When he arrived,he walked to the desk of the chief bank employee.Now this man was a true jack-of-all-trades.He knew how to do everything.
“I am here to withdraw some money,so I can pay my taxes to Uncle Sam.” said Average Joe.Uncle Sam represents the United States government.
The banker produced some papers and told Average Joe to sign his John Hancock at the bottom.A John Hancock is person’s signed name,a signature.Historically,John Hancock was one of the signers of the United States Declaration of Independence.Hancock had a beautiful signature and signed his name larger than all the others.
