The Grapes of Wrath, Chapter Seven, The Jesters

I come from a family of used car salesmen, and I hate to think that they are like the saleman in this chapter. However, I know things that other people do not know. As a child I was taught things about men and about people that would have otherwise taken me an entire lifetime to accumulate and analyze. I was taught to bullshit. I was taught how to play on the psychology of people. I was taught how to outsmart men while simultaneously keeping them thinking that they are the ones making all the decisions. I love my family and I hate to think of them in the light of the salesman in the chapter. What is cool is that I knew every single car he was talking about!
