Cops finger bad chili....
In this age of so much bad, bizarre and just really sad news bombarding us from all directions it is easy to become jaded and simply pass over many of the stories, even those with some importance. But when I saw the headline, "Human finger found in Chili" I simply had to investigate further. This could have profound implications for me personally.
Thankfully I have never been a big fan of fast food joints, we'll not totally true, I'm a fan, I've just been somewhat protective of my health by not eating there often. Even more so now, after my recent cardiac capers. I have never eaten Wendy's chili and I pledge this to you now, "I ain't never eatin' no stinkin' chili at Wendy's..... ever and for eternity". In fact, I may have grave reservations about ever eating out anywhere again.
And if you're like me and have just a modicum of curiosity, you wonder just how a human finger can end up in a bowl of Wendy's chili in San Francisco. Authorities are launching an investigation.....well duh! What would be the alternative? Tell the finger eating customer that, "hey, you got your money back forget about it". You just have to ponder how someone up the food supply chain can lose a finger and not bother to tell anyone about it? And I thought fingernails in McDonalds hamburgers was disgusting.
Afternoon update: After I had deliberated on this strange case for several hours, a nagging feeling came over me. In yesterdays post I mentioned the Buddy's Drive-In owner who was missing and then located mysteriously in San Francisco. Buddy's is famous for it's steak fingers. And now also in San Francisco, a finger is mysteriously found in Wendy's chili. Coincidence? "Buddy's Steak Finger Drive-in owner mysteriously deposited in San Francisco. Finger mysteriously arrives in San Francisco chili...." You decide.
