    Chicago was named the Windy City after its politicians, who were and are full of hot air….

    Looking at the lyrics for the Black Sabbath song Iron Man, it could apply nicely to somebody working in a slaughterhouse.

    Could eating too many of Chicago’s hot dogs cause the wind?

    I thought the “Windy City” moniker came from the prevailing winds off Lake Michigan.

    There are over 4,000 hot dog stands in NYC, which are limited by the number of permits granted for hot dog stands.

    Once upon a time there were two brothers. One joined the Bolivian Navy & was lost at sea. The other visited Chicago & asked for ketchup for his hot dog. Neither body was ever found!!

    Winnipeg is windier than Chicago. Downtown can be horrific when the wind blows through.

    I looked up Ozzy Osborne and discovered he actually worked at a slaughterhouse not a steakhouse.

    How many of the hot dog stands do you need to go through before you find one with real beef?

    Ozzy Osborne probably slaughtered bats.
