[Leica] MP on sale

[jshul at comcast.net (Jim Shulman)]

I consulted the words and spirit of the great Summerian priest, Mi Shagas.

"Oh Big Mi Shagas," I implored, how can 2922000 and 3030500 be joined for
superior images?"

Mi Shagas replied through mysterious tracings in the bottom of my hot cocoa.

"It is not for photography, but for summoning the spirits of perfect unity
in a shelf display.  Shmuck, if you want pictures, get a beater M6 and go
hit the streets."

I consulted my Ba Zi numerology books, and indeed, the pair 
of numbers are most auspicious.  Short of an exact 
match, only two possibilites among hundreds off thousands
are better: 3935000, and 3933000.

Of course, if you allow other numbers for the MP, then there
are more desirable choices.   Am I the only one who thinks
that Leica's main woes come from their inability (dare I say 
ignorance ?) to use proper numbers for their special editions ?  
Not to mention their atrocious choices of issue dates !   They should 
be on full moons, or at the very least avoid the 5th, the 17th 
and the 23rd days of the month (lunar, of course)  !!!!
