C'era una volta un uomo fatto di salsicce. E c'era una volta una ragazza vegetariana. L'uomo fatto di salsicce aggredisce la ragazza vegetariana.

Ma fare come se niente fosse è difficile, perché l'uomo fatto di salsicce non smette di perseguitarla: spiandola dal bosco vicino a scuola, affacciandosi a una finestra, spuntando da un lampione.
