Benz Obsession?

I was just eating dinner with my family and while putting some ketchup on my son's plate, I noticed something.





Am I OBSESSED??????

Read the bottle.... "Stay clean cap!"


Wow, I'd probably have flipped and showed everyone at the table if I had seen that on a bottle....and everyone would stare at me.

I see MB's / Tri-stars in many places.... ALWAYS on the BRAIN. Me? Obsessed? Yep.

Daimler-Heinz?


Hmmm, picture this scenario. Two late 19th century engineers were sitting around discussing their automotive accomplishments when an assistant rushes in. He says, "The Americans are working on automobiles but they claim your recent inventions are setting back their research"

Karl looks over at Otto and says,

Wait for it,

"Vell then, they should ketch-up"!

I gotta switch to decaf!
