Well. It had to happen sooner or later, right?
I mean, people are always saying how bad hotdogs are for you.
Now comes a woman named Kathy McVay, who has a nice little shiner this morning after being assaulted by a flying hotdog at a Philadelphia Phillies game. The offending wiener had an accomplice, later identified as the Phillie Phanatic, who regularly fires duct tape-wrapped hotdogs into the stands from his special hotdog artillery piece. None has ever inflicted casualties until McVay, who said she never saw it coming, got whacked in the face.
She later went to the hospital for a CT scan to make sure she didn't incur a concussion, which no doubt would have made her the first person in history to enter a meat product-based concussion protocol.
McVay has already said she won't sue the Phillies, although that could change if some suit gets his mitts on her and whispers sweet nothings about how much she can shake them down for. In the meantime, hers becomes a cautionary tale for anyone else who ventures into the landing zone.
Keep your head on a swivel, boys and girls. You never know when food is going to come flying out of the sky at you.
Now the freebies out-of-guns will be history; oh well, memories: I once got a rolled-up tee shirt of Muddy Mud Hen shot from a little cannon, so special because it was Toledo's Myron Noodleman night, never again, as Myron died last November from a rare cancer.
