My dad was out in the one car garage working on his Harley. Gosh this was.....12....yeah I think 12 years ago. My youngest sister was only a few years old. Well, she was sitting on the floor not too far from him. She, the dazzlement of brilliance that she was/is, notices a beer can about a foot in front of her. So she reaches for it....and takes a nice swig of . . . . . . . . . . . . . . motor oil.
My dad didn't have time to stop her from where he was at. After it happened he could do nothing but laugh. I wish I knew where he put the picture. I just can't quite grasp it.

You know, I remember first hearing about this story and thinking, "How the heck could a finger have gotten into the chili?" I was a shift manager at a Wendy's over a decade ago, and at that time there wasn't any real way for a cooked finger to wind up in the mix.
All the chili meat, for example, is chopped-up leftover burgers; the meat they put on the grill in advance of orders that doesn't get eaten is, when it gets a bit too well done, put into a container and diced for the next day's chili. The chili seasonings are powder, and the sauce is also reconstituted from powder.
I couldn't think of any way for a finger to get into her chili. If an employee had lost a finger while dicing the meat, people would have noticed; if an employee had somehow lost a finger while filling a bag of spice powder, two people -- the person sealing the bag, and the person pouring the bag into liquid -- would have had the opportunity to notice.

Okay, we have a case of a missing finger, and a case of a finger appearing where it shouldn't be ... I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

I'm sensing that this topic has touched on some raw spots for a few of you. Elizabeth, the flipping the bird comment shows a lack of tact I'll wager.

And here I thought it was a plot by the RJR/Nabisco/Phillip Morris/Post cereals/Hostess pentavirate. They will do anything to end this low card dieting craze.

Well, we all know what putting a finger down your throat does. Maybe someone was making a metaphorical comment on the quality of the chilli.

I don't eat at Wendy's much, mainly because I mostly avoid fast food. But when I do eat fast food, I prefer Wendy's to most of the other places out there.

quote:San Jose police say they're investigating a possible connection between the finger and the owner of several exotic animals at Pahrump, Nev., who lost one of her fingers in a leopard attack on Feb. 23.
Wow. Just when you start thinking a story is as weird as it's going to get...

I once found the greater portion of a large moth fried to a french fry that was on its way to my mouth. *shudder*
At a little fast food place called the Mad Greek. They gave me and my mom a bunch of fre Baklava (sp?).
Seems a moth or two had flown in the drive thru window the night before and fallen in the deep fryer when nobody was looking.
Nothing eves we ordered was fried, and as a student of Biology (at the time) I realized a deep fried moth was probably no worse for me than the deep fried potato.
But the gilr behind the counter nearly fainted. Posts: 1664 | Registered: Apr 2004

Actually, I'd wager that the moth would be quite a bit better for you than the french fry. At least you'd get a little protein.
