    What do you folks like on your hot dogs?

    (I don’t eat beef or pork anymore, so it’s a bit moot for me, but I’ve always preferred brats anyway)

    I’m over eighteen — by twenty years — and I still don’t ketchup on my hot dogs. I’m more of into mustard and grilled onions. Also occasionally J. Dawgs sauce from a small Utah-based hot dog franchise.

    This is the first hot dog joke I remember learning:

    Hot Dogs in America

    Two immigrants have just arrived in the United States and one says to the other, “I hear that the people of this country actually eat dogs.”

    “Odd,” her companion replies, “but if we shall live in America, we might as well do as the Americans do.”

    Nodding emphatically, one of the immigrants points to a hot dog vendor and they both walk toward the cart.

    “Two dogs, please,” she says.

    The vendor is only too pleased to oblige, wraps both hot dogs in foil and hands them over the counter.

    Excited, the companions hurry to a bench and begin to unwrap their “dogs.”

    One of them opens the foil and begins to blush. Staring at it for a moment, she turns to her friend and whispers cautiously, “What part of the dog did you get?”

    says “Make me one with everything”.

    The hot dog vendor hands over the sausage and bun with all the trimmings, and the Buddhist hands over a twenty. The vendor pockets it, and goes on to help another customer.

    The Buddhist asks “Where’s my change?” and the vendor replies “change must come from within”.

    A gun then extends from the Buddhist’s chest and he asks again.

    The vendor says “Whoa, whoa, whoa man, what about inner piece?

    The Buddhist replies “This is my inner piece”.

    Well, I don’t want to exhaust the topic, so I’ll close with this one:

    A guy goes into a luncheonette and orders a hamburger and a hot dog. A few minutes later, the waitress puts a plate in front of him with an open bun on it, pulls a hamburger out of her armpit, and tosses it on the bun.

    The guy says, “What the heck was that all about?”

    She says, “I was just keeping it warm for you.”

    He says, “Cancel my hot dog.”

    Until next time.

    First, a personal note: my professional duties are often going to prevent me from posting every night for awhile. Throw in a cruise or two, and I’ll be elsewhere. I’ll post when I can, of course, and when I’m Inspired — although you already know my inspiration often expires before it gets posted…

    Posting cornball humor on RBION is one of my favorite things to do, and while I haven’t been at it as long as our Official Flounder (I got that from Ivar’s Acres of Clams) SteveSilver48, has been posting, I’ve still been posting here a long time. I’ll be back posting soon, but I’ll be at least glancing at comments pretty-much ever night…

    Anyhow, on to the corn patch:

    A comedian ventriloquist (aren’t they all?) is performing one night, his dummy making disparaging remarks about the audience as ventriloquists’ dummies often do. As the dummy seems to concentrate on women with a particular hair color, one such woman strides on stage and starts screaming: “You have no right to make fun of us like that. We don’t find it humorous at all!”

    The ventriloquist begins apologizing for offending the woman with that particular hair color. “I’m sorry, Miss; I” – he begins, but she interrupts him, pointing her finger in his face. “Shut up!" she yells. "I’m not talking to you!”

    Bad habits will ketchup with you as bad puns have just caught up with me! A grown-up hot dog lover will have mustard the courage to relish the taste of the hot dog all by itself. (Now go read Silver.)

    According to the Ketchup and Mustard Council, it’s preferable and perfectly fine to consume your condiments with hot dogs and various other meat patties.

    Ummmm….why shouldn’t adults put ketchup on their hot dogs? Not that I would. I’m not big on ketchup except on fast food burgers. And is this just limited to hot dogs or are they saying adults shouldn’t use ketchup at all?

    Screw those people, and everyone else. I’ll eat my hot dogs any blasted way I want. Mustard, fine? Ketchup, BAD? WHATS UP WITH THAT? Also steak sauce is great, but steak with ketchup is death penalty worthy? Forget it, I’ll eat any way I LIKE, thank you

    The New York State Barge Canal. There is a preserved stretch of the original Erie Canal near there somewhere. I lived in Fairport for some time as a child.

    Once upon a time there were two brothers. One was lost at sea, the other was seen putting ketchup on a hotdog in Chicago. Neither body was ever recovered!

    AIUI, ketchup is slightly less bad for you than other condiments. I prefer mustard on my dogs, but I won’t judge you for differing.

    This whole no ketchup on hot dogs is just ridiculous. My favorite is ketchup, mustard, onions and relish! Also the Chicago is killer. However, I no longer eat meat — but there are a lot of close alternatives. Hot dogs are mostly smoke and seasoning flavor, anyways. The trick with the meat-free versions is to fry them in a pan with some butter!

    I don’t get why people make such a huge deal about people putting ketchup on hotdogs. It just seems a little silly to me.
