At a weekend camping trip with one of my children they were employing us adults to serve the food in the cafeteria. I was assigned the technically difficult task of placing hot dogs into buns and handing them out. I was preforming this essential and life sustaining function when an upset parent approached and stated, “the children’s hot dogs are rolling out of the buns and on to the floor”, and wanted to know what I was going to do about that. Ah, let’s see, nothing, tell the kids to hold onto their food. It was funny and sad all at the same time, because they actually expected something to be done. What that might have been, I had no idea; I was and still am a novice in the hot dog distribution industry and wasn’t up on the latest anti-rolling techniques. Maybe square hot dogs; wouldn’t roll.
