1 lb. pkg. hot dogs
Your favorite condiments
4 gullable children

With a knife, split each end of the hot dogs, leaving 1 inch uncut in the middle. Turn and cut again so each end is quartered lengthwise. Place on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until ends curl up and are lightly browned. Be sure to tell your children that these are REAL OCTOPUS. Kids are easy to fool, just ask my mother.
