for my jewish friends, tonight begins the fast of yom kippur.
for my muslim friends, the fast of ramadan continues.
and no matter which holy book you take your marching orders from, i understand personally how hard it can be keeping your mind off food during a time of reflection - and i am here to help.
from now until the time you break your fast at the end of your day of atonement, every time you feel hungry or like you need a little snack, think of this picture...
what you are looking at is a plate laden with hot dog skin and hot dog grease - an important part of our daily lives here at 4731. (especially for one of our pickier eaters.) hopefully, staring hard at this grim tableau will make the thought of food of any kind abhorrant, as it does every single night for me, when i'm sitting down to watch the boys eat.
can't you just smell it?
you can thank me at the end of the fast, when you've made it through and your name is enscribed in the book of life once again.
(oh, and if you're a gentile, you can thank me for helping you cut down on your hot dog consumption. believe me, you don't need the nitrates.
