Good mileage.... for a hot dog - Your mileage may vary

Antenna weinerThis is the story of an anniversary.  No, not a wedding anniversary or some company's anniversary.  This is likely the strangest and most bizarre anniversary you have ever heard of.  This is the hot dog anniversary for Richard Carroll of Milliken.

Five years ago, on July 4, Carroll was grilling some hot dogs for a family gathering, and he dropped one of them on the ground. 
Josh Severin, a family member, quickly picked it up, and instead of merely brushing the hot dog off and putting it back on the grill as most men would do (remember the 5-second rule), he stuck it, lengthwise, on the radio antenna on Carroll's pickup truck.

That hot dog, after five years, after 80,000 miles, after rain and storm and sleet and hail, is still on that antenna.  And it's not a pleasant sight.
It's shrunken, this wonder hot dog, and it has turned black and kind of fuzzy and hard.
