Re: What bored and lonely people do on Valentine's Day Night.

I quite like that "Mr Jones" angle; it feels more credible than "keeping up with the Joneses". We Brits have been keeping up with the Joneses here as long as I can remember (since the 1970s but it was common currency then), but "jonesing" is felt to be a US import.
