Dog Warden

The fact that this really happened makes it funny for me.

Sylvania, Ohio USA

The truck was officially labeled and so was the Dog Warden's uniform. The uniform included a wide brimmed hat, a safari-like shirt and trousers, both with too many pockets to count without asking the man to stand still. Clearly, this fellow was the Dog Warden.

He self served a coffee - believed to be 20 ounces - then moved toward the island display that contained the grilled tubular meat heating device with rollers (you know the one). The grill had several items slowly tumbling between its rollers. There were; sausages - some more wrinkly than others, several tubular egg roll / burrito sort of things, and then there were two types of hotdogs - the large horse penis type and the smaller (more conventional) ballpark type. The ballpark versions represented the majority of the items in the mix. Each item slowly tumbling in place as the rollers turned.

The smartly dressed public official, with bun in one hand and tongs in the other - reach for a plain old ballpark offering. He slid his dog gently into his bun.

Recognizing what had just taken place, an observer said to the Warden, "Going after the easy ones, huh?"
