Those jokes must be written by women. That's also assuming a woman knows it's time for an oil change.

[Merika]

[Duke]

Your dummy light never turns off.

[dogula]

My old car had an oil-dometer.

I didn't say it was ON.....I said it FLICKERED!

And Dogula....I AM an oil-dometer!

[dogula]

Some know-nothings called it a trip meter, but every time it hit 500 I knew to start checking my oil every day so I knew when to add the quart.

[Duke]

It only flickers when you blink.

[Merika]

Or bat my eyes in some FLIRTY bonanza.......and then some GUY will change my oil or add oil or whatever the car needs. I'm a girl....I'm not into motor stuff.

[Duke]

How about motor skillz.

[Luba]

I thought this was funny to bring back and see what new members had to say...or new thoughts from older members!

[TKDLady]

All I can say is I miss Merika. She was funny and I loved the banter between her and Duke. Her oil change story was funny though.

Merika: Shameless Flirt.

I hope she found the Right Sailor.
