DID YOU KNOW HOT DOGS ARE SUPPOSED
TO SHAVE THIRTY-SIX MINUTES OFF YOUR LIFE?
ONE HOT DOG.
YOUR LIFE.
MINUS THIRTY-SIX MINUTES.
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS?
SHIT, THREE WEEKS AGO I WAS IN A HOT DOG
EATING CONTEST.
WE HAD THREE MINUTES TO EAT AS MANY
HOT DOGS AS POSSIBLE.
AND I ATE SIX HOT DOGS.
THAT’S TWO HUNDRED SIXTEEN MINUTES.
THREE POINT SIX HOURS.
JUST TO SAY I’M THE HOT DOG CHAMP.
[SIDEBAR]: I’M THE MF’ING HOT DOG CHAMP.
CONVERSELY—
PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICHES ARE SUPPOSED
TO ADD THIRTY-THREE MINUTES TO YOUR LIFE.
I DON’T EVEN LIKE PB&JS THAT MUCH
BUT IF IT MEANS I CAN EAT MORE HOT DOGS
THEN I GUESS I’LL PICK UP A GALLON
OF PB AND A TUB OF J
AND AN EIGHTEEN-PACK OF HOT DOGS
AS THEY SAY,
YOLO.
