Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 16 years and 7 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

I saw two really odd things on my drive home from work this evening.

First, on the exit ramp from the highway, I was behind an old lady in her late 70s/early 80s driving a late model Lincoln Continental with a license plate frame that read: “Mailmen do it first class.” I wondered if she realized what that means.

Then on the last stretch of road before my neighborhood, I looked in my review mirror and discovered that the guy behind me in a Jeep Cherokee was wearing full mime makeup! Yup, white face, exaggerated smile with the dots in the corners, etc. It really freaked me out … it looked like he had just come from a bank heist or something. You don’t usually see mimes driving motorized vehicles.
