I'd be cautious when I went to that hospital knowing that "word gets around".

Not an infrequent occurrance especially in children. I know 2 that died from same; one 13 in a school cafeteria & the other 6 in a park. Always cut it lengthwise when serving ANYONE. I am sure they will sue somebody but they do come with a WARNING LABEL.

What if I offer $10,000 to the person who walks the fastest all the way around a narrow ledge up near the top of a ten story building? If people fall off and die, would that be okay too?

If they are crazy enough to do it ! I would definitely keep my feet planted on the ground.

Really? Hot Dogs now have a warning label? What does it say, TAKE HUMAN BITES?

Caution: Do not cram 61 hotdogs in your mouth at one time!

A fourth of July hotdog eating contest turned tragic when a man choked to death on a hotdog.

Is it true they took the body away in the Weinermobile?

And if they win, I hope they're rewarded what they deserve; a weeks supply of Ball Park Franks, a squeeze bottle of mustard and a pack of fire crackers so they can celebrate their victory, and NOT some asinine unwarranted dollar amount!

Nein fressen!

Are you hungry for a hot dog? a Big JUICY Nathans, or Hebrew National, with raw onion, yellow mustard and maybe a drop of catsup and some sauerkraut on a fresh soft hotdog bun? Do you want it steamed or charbroiled? Take little bites. Little horseradish too??????

I'm going to Sam's for one of their delicious hot dogs and a big old cold drink for just $1.79.

Disclaimer. I don't know Sam, never met him, don't own Walmart Stock and am a card carrying Repu.....mother.

I'll take mine boiled with spicy brown mustard, sauerkraut and those delish Nathan's fries.
