The Spermmobile

During my recent trip to Minnesota I got in a day earlier than the comic I was working with, Darryl Rhoades.

He arrived at the airport and asked me what kind of car to look out for.

I told him I would be in the sperm colored Mitsibushi Galant.

So, for those of you that saw the shows in Minnesota this this the now famous Spermmobile. (copyright 2007 Eric Kirkland)

It became the running gag with us that week that whenever we had to go somewhere the saying was, "Quick! To the Spermmobile!" (Because we are both so mature)

I even ended up talking about the Spermmobile on stage. It may stay in the act.

Darryl had a good line about it one night. I was up on stage before him talking about the Spermmobile and somewhere during his show he had a line of, "The way I'm feeling I could put a new coat of paint on the Spermmobile."

The reason I had to drive the Spermmobile is I made my reservations for an economy car and the ONLY economy car on the lot was a Chevy Aveo Hatchback.

Now, I'm not picky and actually prefer a small car, especially in Minnesota where the gas was two sixty friggin five a gallon. The problem with this car was, well you see the back of the back wheel. From there behind is the trunk space. Now that would be fine if there was two people travelling and all we had to pack with us was a grapefruit, or maybe two. Two would be a stretch though. The lot had NO other economy cars except for one PT Cruiser and that you could fit maybe two apples and a gallon of juice in the trunk.

So that is how we ended up with the now famous Spermmobile.
