[QUOTE=Johnny L.A.] First time I’ve seen a wiener dragging in the snow. [/QUOTE] I just assumed it was writing its name. [QUOTE=samclem] Anyone else notice that it was two _women_ who couldn’t handle a wiener? [/QUOTE] Yeah, what a couple of numbnuts. ---

I found the photo amusing, and the fact of the accident (since everyone was OK) but I couldn’t make it past the second paragraph of the article because I absolutely, frothingly despise puns used like that. (Every rare once in a while an isolated pun can be amusing, but when everything breaks down into puns I get so irritated that I can’t read it or I’ll actually find myself becoming angry. I hate hate hate hate hate when threads on message boards turn into pun threads, for example.) ---

[QUOTE=Thudlow Boink] People, please: W **ie** ner, not w **ei** ner. “ie” and “ei” are pronounced completely differently in German (the language from whence the wiener sprang). I know it’s a little, nitpickety thing, but it’s driving me crazy. [/QUOTE] Ditto on the last sentence for me, but about “whence” not needing “from” as it means “from what place”. Not “illegal” as Shakespeare used it, but still frankly unkosher. ---

It looks smaller than usual in that photo. But then, that happens. ---
