BORN IN AN OVEN--85 Google hits,   64 Google Groups hits

   Variously given as "cat" or  "kitten" or "dog," born in an oven and called
"biscuits" or "cake" or "bread."
   I must caution that this is not a proper way to make hot dogs.

   The "New Haven Herald" says: "Does the editor of the 'Louisville Journal'
suppose that he is a true Yankee because he was born in New England?  If a dog
is born in an oven is he bread?"  We can tell the editor that there are very
few dogs, whether born in an oven or out of it, but are _better bred_ than he
is.
