On the fifteenth day in November, the Wiener Girls had their first experience with ransom threats . It was a cold day in Chicago, however the Wiener Girls were keeping warm with hot buns and juicy wieners all around. Then, they received this ransom note , sent from this envelope. There was no return address.

It read:

I EAT HOT DOGS. I EAT THEM FOR ALL THREE MEALS OF THE DAY AND SNACKS ASWELL. WHILE ON VACATION WITH MY SON LAST MONTH, I ENTERED A HOT DOG STAND CALLED THE WIENER CIRCLE, ORDERED NINE PLAIN HOT DOGS, AND LEFT WITH MY ORDER AND YOUR PHOTOGRAPH. I LOVED YOUR PHOTOGRAPH AND PLACED IT ABOVE MY TELEVISION IN MY LIVINGROOM. LAST WEEK MT DOCTOR TOLD ME I COULD NO LONGER EAT HOT DOGS. I CAN NEVER EAT A SINGLE ONE. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW I FEEL? I HAD TO DESTROY THE CONTENTS OF MY ENTIRE REFRIDGERATOR, OVER ONE THOUSAND BEEF AND PORK HOT DOGS, INCLUDING A FIVE GALLON CONTAINER OF CHILI, AND OVER FOUR HUNDRED DOLAARS OF ASSORTED GARNISHMENTS. LOOKING AT YOUR FILTHY ARTWORK YESTERDAY I MADE UP MY MIND TO DESTROY IT.....BUT TODAY I REALIZED THAT HOLDING IT FOR RANSOM COULD YIELD A TIDY SUM FOR BOTH MY MEDICAL BILLS AND MY LOSSES IN HOT DOGS. YOU WILL PAY ME ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN CASH FOR THE PHOTO OR I WILL DISPOSE OF IT IN THE MOST VILE AND DISGUSTING WAY YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE. I WILL EAT IT. I WILL ROLL IT INTO A BURRITO, FILL IT WITH TUNA AND EAT IT WHOLE. I AM NOT FUCKING AROUND. IN THREE WEEKS YOU WILL RECEIVE A PHONE CALL GIVING YOU DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE TO SEND THE MONEY TO. DON'T FUCK IT UP.
