Oscar Mayer Wienermobile Crashes Into Wisconsin Home

MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. — One southern Wisconsin homeowner is probably not in love with the Oscar Mayer wiener. The famed hot dog's Wienermobile crashed Friday into the deck and garage of a home in Mount Pleasant, about 35 miles south of Milwaukee.

Police said the driver was trying to turn the Wienermobile around in the driveway and thought she was moving in reverse. But she instead went forward and hit the home. It sat in the driveway as if it were stuck in the garage Friday afternoon.

No one was home and no one was injured. No citations were immediately issued.

Both the home and vehicle suffered moderate damage, which Oscar Mayer spokeswoman Sydney Lindner says insurance will cover.

Police hadn't been able to speak to the homeowner as of early Friday evening.

The wurst thing to do with your wienermobile.

Good thing they didn't hit a der Wienerschnitzle in the front porch, or they might have created little weiners.

Does the wienermobile have an autoerotic transmission or a stick?

Interviewed in his nursing home, Graff Eduard, 97, pilot of the Hindenburg, said he felt a lot better knowing he wasn't 'the only one to screw up a docking maneuver.

I guess all the cars on the road are singing, "I'm glad I'm not an Oscar Meyer Wiener."

I heard that the homeowner is German.

Now he is a very sour Kraut.

I sure hope the driver wasn't texting when it happened.

In the UK, this is known as a 'banger' sausage...­just so ya know...

Make that Oscar G. Mayer, my apologies on the typo.

Maybe the driver was still upset about the recent passing of the company's patriarch, Oscar G. Meyer. First the passing of a hot dog legend, now this. :-(

Oscar Meyer died, so there was no quality control

There are so many ways to go with this, but I guess in the end, this story really doesn't need a comment.

All evidence to the contrary.

That happened to me once. Oh, wait! No it didn't. Nevermind.

P.S. Oh the humanity!
