The other day I was out for a run and saw a HUGE pink limousine.  Maybe I just wasn’t getting enough oxygen upstairs at the time, but the first thing that went through my mind was, “Wow.  I wonder how much Mary Kay makeup she must have sold?”

So a couple of days later I’m out running in the same area and what do I see parked in downtown Lexington but the actual Oscar Mayer Wienermobile (or at least one of them; I have heard there are more than one).  For those who need an explanation, the Wienermobile is basically a giant motorized road-legal hot dog with bun.  It has four captain’s chairs in the front seating area (I looked).  If I owned a cell phone I would have wished that it had a camera and then I would have wished that I had taken it running so that I could have wished there was a bystander willing to take my picture next to the Wienermobile.  I have always thought the Wienermobile is very cool.  In fact, it tops my list of favorite mobiles:

1. Wienermobile

2. Popemobile

3. Bookmobile

4. Mobile, Alabama

5. Batmobile

For a while I couldn’t figure out the connection between the giant Mary Kay limo and the Wienermobile being in the same area.  Then I got it.  If you’ve sold enough makeup to receive a giant pink limousine as compensation, and then you decide to have a cook-out with your friends, the Oscar Meyer corporation snaps to attention and sends the Wienermobile.  Case closed.

Unless I really wasn’t getting enough oxygen.
