CHICAGO - A parking ticket topped the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile after it was left parked illegally on a downtown Chicago thoroughfare.

The 27-foot fiberglass sausage was ticketed Thursday morning after its driver parked it on Michigan Avenue and left it on the side of the six-lane road with the hazard lights blinking.

A police officer ticketed the vehicle and radioed for a tow truck, but the car's driver and passenger returned before the truck arrived.

"The situation was resolved without the use of ketchup, which in Chicago is a big thing," said Matt Smith of the city's Streets and Sanitation Department.

Smith said a city tow truck could have done the job, if necessary.

"We have access to tow trucks that could have handled a Polish sausage, not just a hot dog," Smith said.

Parking on a street marked "Parking/Standing Prohibited Anytime" is a $50 violation, said Ed Walsh, a spokesman for the city's Department of Revenue

Question. Are you live in Cranberry, PA?. My wife grew up and live in Cranberry, PA.
 
No, I grew up in Pittsburgh, and of course Cranberry is right south of Mars, PA, along with I-79! She was with me when she saw the Weinermobile passing down on PA-19 and we were on Freedom RD.

Dang it, I want one of them weinermobiles. Wonder how it does with the women :giggle:
 
I told my daughter about his and she was shocked that the cop gave the hotdog a ticket! It was so funny. :)
 
The officer probably had a dozen or so angry citizens shouting "You'd give my car a ticket, Oh so I bet the wienermobile is special, I'll complain if you don't give it a ticket"

So the poor officer writes the ticket and then is crucified by all "wienermobile lovers" who read the story. So sad!

BTW, I still have my oscar meyer wienie whistle :) I wonder if they still give those out?
