Hot doggers grilled near Pentagon
From the National Desk Published 6/21/2002 11:20 AM

MADISON, Wis., June 21 (UPI) -- It could have been wurst.

A pair of hot doggers taking their Wienermobile to the National Capital Barbecue Battle in Washington were pulled over by the Virginia State Police this week for driving too close to the Pentagon.

Sarah Delea, a spokeswoman for Oscar Mayer, said Friday the pair was unaware Route 110 had been closed to truck traffic since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center.

"A police officer let them know and was kind enough to direct traffic to allow the Wienermobile to exit," Delea said. No ticket was issued.

There dosn't seem to be any salami invoved, but "wienermobile" stories are usually pretty funny.

I took a picture of the weinermobile for the paper when I saw it in town (in Washington state) -- it was in a motel parking lot near the freeway covered in snow and ice -- condiments. I liked the picture and knew the readers would, too - but they didn't print that one. Instead they ran a photo of the mayor at a meeting and other boring see-them-all-the-time pictures.
