Away From the Economic News . . .












"No, I am not making this up!" was a standard line for Dave Barry. The renowned comedic writer wrote a column for many years in the Miami Herald. For me, one of the funniest things he ever did - and wrote about - was borrowing the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile to pick up his children at school.

So, of course, I just had to draw to your attention to a news item that yesterday the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile crashed into a house in Mount Pleasant, about 35 miles south of Milwaukee. The driver was attempting to turn in the driveway and the vehicle went forward when the driver thought it was in reverse.

No one was home; no one was injured and the Company says insurance will cover the damage. On a sad note, the report notes the driver was a woman. Uh oh!

Perhaps she should stick to fixing "hot dogs" on the grill and leave the "bunmobile" parked. That was cute!rs
