"WHOOPPEE-TI-YAI-OOOOOO" shouted Cocomo Joe as he beat the clown's butt with his makeshift whip - a rope of weiner links. "FASTER!" "FASTER!"

Mack whinnied and took off along the sidewalk on hands and knees, tearing the clown suit and bruising his shins but too proud to call it quits and lose his quarter to the former fattie. He remembered Joe from his days in the circus. He remembered his ugly ways and he remembered his fatal flaw.

With a final heave he bucked off his rider and deposited him on the sidewalk in front of Baskins-Robbins. It was "Two For One" day and the featured flavor was Peanutbutter Trails Down A Rocky Road. Cocomo Joe, sweaty and flushed, dropped his weiner rope and headed into paradise ("or Hell" thought the gloating clown. Mack had his quarter and he had his revenge.
