Oh come on! Bacon-wrapped hot dogs?

OK, Wienerschnitzel has just announced its new Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dog line. Come on, a man swearing off fast food for Lent can only take so much!

Sure, I know many of you disdain fast food, but for those of you who share the vice with me, doesn't it seem like every time you make a commitment to stop or cut back, some juicy deal or new item comes along. For example, about a decade ago, I got all worked up to lose weight. The very day I debuted my new attitude toward food, I drove by a McDonald's, and I saw a sign for 99-cent Big Macs. I looked up at the sky and cried out, "Oh, come on. Was this necessary?"  Needless to say I failed the test miserably. 

So, I have the battle scars. I'll just grit my teeth - or sew the damn things shut - and keep on driving past the drive-thrus.  St. Augustine allegedly said, "Lord, make me chaste, but not yet." Well, I think I've used up all my "not yet" time, so bacon-wrapped hot dogs, you won't win this round!
