The Cool Hand Luke of Hot Dogs

Twelve years ago I posted this on my Scraps blog and for some reason I remembered it today whilst enjoying a Not Dog and wanted to repost it.

It all started with Wayne telling Dave:

"I can eat 16 hot dogs." 

"Get the hell out of here. There's no way you can do it, bro." 

"Seriously, buns and fixings; the whole nine."

"I'd like to see that."

"I did a trial run." 

"What, three?" 

"No. Two."

Enormous laughter from Dave until he can say, "That's a trial run???"

"Well, I went into it imagining that I'd be eating sixteen."

"And?"

"And, it's gonna be tough."

Eventually Wayne stepped up but could only manage to eat seven. He wanted to save room for dessert. But we are still proud of his attempt.
