Deer hunting haulers


At Mantz's Meat Market, most of Monday morning's prizes were laying in the back of a 'beater' pick up truck,  or even huge, shiny trucks jacked up so high I'd need a ladder or a boost to get in.

Then drove up a sparkling Mercedes-Benz SLK230. Surely, he's just checking on the status of his baloney or a few steaks, we thought. The last time a Benz pulled into this meat market was when Joe the Butcher was in diapers.

When the driver opened his trunk, this big doe was stuffed inside. It was kind of funny, in a strange sort of way. A Benz isn't meant to haul a bloody carcass across town, after all, that's why God invented pickup trucks. A Benz is meant to impress, and it certainly did Monday.

Of course, life is about perspective, and maybe all of us onlookers had jumped to the wrong conclusion. Maybe his pickup was being used by a friend for his deer. Maybe his pickup was getting fixed.

Or maybe, those of us who lack the funds to purchase such a fine vehicle just don't understand. After all, a Benz is a car, much like any other car.  Right...

It just seemed to wrong, for so many reasons. The driver said he heard a lot of that kind of comment. But he didn't mind. On the next trip back,  steaks will be waiting.
