Hot Dog Comedy Contest

From the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council

 

Congrats to Sam Beeson for his winning entry!

The winning entry came from Sam Beeson of American Fork, UT:

"You can search all your Internet blogs,
And your college’s course catalogues.
But for facts about meat;
No source can compete;
With the Council for Sausage and Dogs!”

Sam wins a $250 gift card for his favorite hot dogs.

The first runner up was submitted by Nicholas Henniger:

“Some children were lined up in the lunch hall of a Catholic school for lunch. At the left side of the table there was a large tray of hot dogs. One of the priests said to the children ‘Take only one hot dog. God is watching over you.’ The other end of the table had a box full of chocolate chip cookies. One child whispered to another, ‘Take all the cookies you want. God is only watching the hot dogs.’”

Nicholas wins a $100 gift card for his favorite hot dogs.

The second runner up joke was submitted by Gracie Evans:

“What do you call a hot dog that loves to play in the snow? A chili dog!”

Gracie wins a $50 gift card for her favorite hot dogs.

Thanks to all who participated and voted for our finalists!
