Default Talk about getting screwed by the Oscar Mayer weinermobile

Giant wieners can do a lot of damage, it seems. Just look at what happened today in Racine, WI. There, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile penetrated a home's closed garage door in a decidedly non-consensual manner.

Fox6Now.com reports that the Wienermobile's driver took a wrong turn down a dead-end street. Subsequently faced with a scenario in which there was nowhere to stick the enormous 27-foot wiener, she decided to back up the street and start fresh. Unfortunately, she mistakenly hit the accelerator instead of the brake, a course of action that simply did not cut the mustard. In the end, it was a long day filled with hard lessons, as demonstrated in the attached photo gallery. Thanks for the tip, Tony!

Maybe if it had been lubed up with some mustard and/or ketchup, might have been an easier time there.

I don't think the house is asking, "is it in yet?"

Too bad it wasn't rubberized for safety.

My local news kept saying the hotdogmobile "penetrated" the house. Surprised they got away with it.

This is a horrific example of the danger of "penetration".
