The Million Mile/Man Mark

I'm not much of a car aficionado, but check this out...

"Frank Orsenick bought his '91 Silverado in 1996. At the time, it had 41,000 miles on the clock. After 11 years of service (and a lot of driving), the old pickup is about to reach a milestone. Frank had the oil changed last week, just as he has every 3,000 miles since acquiring the Chevy, and it's sure to be the last one it receives as an everyday-use vehicle. You see, it's just 1,200 miles away from spinning past the 1,000,000-mark on the odometer. When it hits the big number, Frank is going to put his faithful ride into retirement."

I don't know what the big deal is. I mean, my ex has hosted his very own Million Man March right up his poop chute for years - - he passed the million mark on his ass-odometer YEARS ago - - and nobody is throwing him a parade.

As Susie Essman says about running into ex-boyfriends on the street, I see him and think...

"Was I in a deranged, psychopathic dementia when I was having sex with this person every night, twice on Fridays?!?"

Oy...

mark - You said it. Hell, you should see it. But if you ever look directly at it, be sure to wear the special safety goggles. Otherwise, it's Lot's Wife all over again.
