How we got to the hot dog

Before I go on to other subjects, I need to explain “how we got to the hot dog.”

The reference dates back to way back in the day when I was a wee teeny high school student. I had a creative writing teacher who was begging to be tortured to just before the point of postaling us all away. She was a large, blonde, toadlike woman who enjoyed poems on flowers and stories on women falling in love and having babies!

I don’t like babies.

Or flowers.

I do enjoy a good hot dog now and then.

One afternoon, I caught myself thinking about hot dogs, and I began to ponder how the bloody hell that happened. What preceding thoughts had led to me thinking about those little meaty gems? Much to my teacher’s chagrin, I handed in the resulting linking of random thoughts as an assignment.

So before I go on to other subjects, I have explained the phrase “how we got to the hot dog.” You’ll need it. Today has been a chain of hot dogs.
