Hot Dog Mailed Between Sisters for 54 Years

(Keenesburg, Co.) - Flora Zimbelman says it all started 54 years ago when she put an uncooked hot dog in her sister’s suitcase.

"I don’t know what made me do it. The devil I guess," she said.

Flora’s sister, Rose, found the hot dog when she opened the suitcase back up in Idaho, where she lived at the time.

"She mailed it back to me telling me to keep my garbage at home," said Flora.

The game was on.

In the years that followed, Flora would find a way to sneak the hot dog back into Rose's life. And Rose would find another way to sneak it back to Flora.

"I found it under my pillow once, I found it in between the drapes and once I found it in the kitchen drawer," said Flora.

Flora still has that hot dog. It looks just about as disgusting as you might expect.

Yet, earlier this year, Flora's sister, best friend, and victim of her continuous pranks, lost her battle with cancer.

Flora says she misses her friend, and even though it’s difficult to look at, she’ll still show you the hot dog and tell you the story behind it.

Well, life is creativity, I guess. What some would call funny, others might call totally off the wall loony tunes!

Makes me wonder if science can have all the answers... the physicists search for the God particle, the Astronomers peer into time and space so remote from us it's unfathomable, the philosophers debate free will and true existence.

And even if they had all the answers they seek, it would still not explain a hot-dog in the mail for fifty years!!

I imagine God is smiling. I know I am!

Trying to figure out what that pic means, the best I can come up with is this:

If you mail a hot dog, you're going with the force.
If you mail a pork chop, that means you went over to the dark side!!!

Something like that!

I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

I have 2 daughters, and I thought they spent their childhoods playfully conspiring against me. It's delightful to know that in their old age, they just be having tons of fun, conspiring against each other.

Someone out there has to be wondering why the hot dog didn't wind up in Rose's casket.

I thought a hot dog lasts longer than that due to the preservatives. Another urban legend shattered? Anybody willing to tatse that thing>

"it all started 54 years ago when she put an uncooked hot dog in her sister’s suitcase."

A vibrator won't rot.

Flora could have won this game once and for all if she had been thinking more clearly in the minutes before they sealed Rose's casket...

That...is...so...WRONG.

At least we know which will last longer in the "hot dog versus Twinkie" debate.

We have the same thing going on in my office with a dried up black banana. Generally it gets left with a new person when the owner moves on (that way it doesn't return). I'm currently the keeper of the nanner.
