“The sausage joke”—as the joke is sometimes called—is really an anti-joke:
 
“Two sausages are frying in a pan. One sausage says, ‘Boy, it sure is hot in here.’ The other one responds, ‘Oh my God! A talking sausage!’”
 
The joke has been cited in print since at least 1990, and it has been printed on many images. “Oh my God, a talking muffin!” is another version of the joke.
