Oscar Mayer's Funeral Wish -- No Wienermobile

The famous Oscar Mayer Wienermobile has proudly made appearances at funerals of past members of the Mayer family -- but don't expect to see it at Oscar's.

Oscar Mayer's Funeral Wish -- No Wienermobile

A rep for Oscar Mayer told us Mr. Mayer -- the grandson of the original Oscar Mayer -- requested the Wienermobile not make an appearance because "it would be too much of a spectacle." Mayer's wishes were for a small private funeral.

Oscar died Monday -- he was 95.

38. What...No one is complaining that Mr. Oscar Mayer's death was ignored because of Michael Jackson?

This man (Mayer) has done so much for the hotdog community. Let us rally together and show the world that we shall not stand for such injustice!! He was taken away from us too soon. 95 years is not long enough to enjoy the sweet rewards that swine grinding can create.

He's gone, gone, gone!!

His legacy shall remain that "OSCAR MAYER HAS A WAY WITH B-O-L-O-G-N-A"!

So thank you Mr. Mayer, for all that you have done. Thank you for allowing us to believe that we all can me a weiner if only we wish!

If you make it to heaven b4 I do...save a seat for me!!

P.S. Say "what it do" to MJ for me!

39. WOW all these famous people dying. I thought they only happened in threes. But I guess if you go along starting with David Carradine, it did happen in threes. MJ was the first in a new set from my calculations.
