Those who wish to read it in a smutty light should get their mind out of the gutter. It's a HOT DOG, for goodness sake - how else would you eat it? (Well, OK, if you want to be pedantic, you could slice it up with a knife and fork and eat it that way - but pretty much the POINT of hot dogs is that you DON'T eat 'em that way. Same with burgers, and pizza - they're casual food, food that sheds table manners from it like water off a duck's back. Knives and forks need not apply.)
