Okay, you mentioned hot dogs...... I'll share a story. I hate hot dogs. I
hate any kind of sausage, baloney, bratwurst, liversausage, period. Well,
my mom served hot dogs to us for lunch one day and it was always the
you-can't-get-up-until-you-eat-the-whole-thing dealy in our house. After
about an hour of staring at the slimey, ground up, pale thing, I finally
doused it in ketchup and attempted to get a bite down. Just then my brother
came into the room and said something funny. I snorted and that bite of hot
dog smothered in ketchup went up through my nose! Talk about burning! I
ran into the bathroom and gagged.

I still can't smell a hot dog or watch my husband eat one. They are
absolutely vile things. <shudder>
