"I meet a vegetarian"
they had ten cent hot dog night
at the herness races.
biggest crowd of the
year.
those line were 90 feet
long.
some of those people never saw a single
race or made a single
bet.
each was limited to
2 hotdogs per
person.
admission was $5
parking was $3.
they needed a car and some
gas to get
there.
the lines never shortened
all night.
I walked over and bought
a bag of
50 cents popcorn.
"don't you wish you had a
ten cent dog?"
I asked the
girl.
"I'm a vegetarian".
she said.
"give me a little more
butter than
that," I said, "this is my only
meal of the night."
I got my bag
put a handful in my
mouth
then
turned and faced
the toteboard.
she laughted.
