  1. Fact of the day: He was John ‘silly and dumb’ Mayer’s great-uncle, and John now stands to inherit a small wiener fortune.

  2. They should shape his coffin like a bun and fill it with condiments, which is the original design for Michael Jackson’s coffin.

  3. crap!! no Wienermobile:(
    Seems he wanted a “tasteful” funeral.
    Well then, might I suggest embalming with nitrites.

  4. In 1965 he was still running the Vietnam War for Lyndon Johnson, having been kept on from JFK’s administration. Don’t know when he had time to do these commercials. He lived to regret a lot that he did in those days, and was subject of a feature-length documentary a few years ago called “Dog of War”.

  5. @8 Have you never sung the song?!?! It’s B-O-L-O-G-N-A, not baloney. Jeez, man, don’t disrespect the guy’s memory there.

  6. For lasting fame, include both your first and last name in your company. Today we all mourn the passing of Oscar Mayer, but who has even heard of George Hormel? Or, uh, Ibrahim Ibm alSaleem, founder of IBM?

  7. I didn’t know there was a real Oscar Mayer. I guess I thought he was fictional like Betty Crocker, Aunt Jemima, or Martha Stewart.

  8. Cause Oscar Mayer has a way of recombining DNA … somebody preserve a sample, just in case.

    I suggest the nose …
