Joe Sixpack is American code for Everyman. He is, therefore, also No Man.

Joe Sixpack isn't a white collar worker because he doesn't have a letterhead. If he did, he'd be Joseph Sixpack. Doubtful that he's gay, either: same reason. (Remember the rejoinder to the fundamentalist quip about Adam & Steve? "Of course it's not 'Adam & Steve'. It's 'Adam & Stephen'.")

Joe Sixpack is over 30. If he were in his 20s, Generation Y, chances are he would be Joey.

Joe Sixpack probably only drinks wine when his wife makes him.

The Sixpack: does it refer to beer or abs? We don't know. Quite the different image, if the latter.

Joe Sixpack is probably white, based on who talks to him and what they say.

Is there a Jo Sixpack?

Joe Sixpack probably doesn't drive a Saab, but may not own a pickup truck either. He may not own a gun, but probably would like to if he doesn't. If he owns a gun, that doesn't guarantee he hunts.

It's better than even money that he plays at least one team sport if he's young enough, and goes to his grandkids' games if he isn't. He probably also bowls, regardless of his age.

I would also think the odds 50/50 that, if he's young enough and lives in a rural area, he's a volunteer fireman. Unfortunately, and I speak from personal knowledge here, if he's a rural volunteer fireman, he probably also smokes. Strange but true.

If he's a union man, he's not a Republican.
