Yet another Human-Flesh-In-The-Food story, but this is for real

[SzczerbiakManiac]

And it happened at TGI Friday's (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060501/ap_on_re_us/restaurant_finger).

[AllyOops!]

Three emotions, or feelings rather, surfaced within me whilst reading this..

1.) The Ick Factor
Because it's just unfortunate and friggin' foul, really. Poor fella. :(

2.) The Puh-leeze Factor
If I ever found finger flesh on my burger, and God willing I never do, I wouldn't even think of calling the police unless I suspected something criminal went down in the kitchen. And by criminal activity in the kitchen, I certainly don't mean the recent addition of the pecan crusted chicken salad to the menu. *Ack*

3.) The Yum Factor
Because the boneless buffalo wings at Friday's (sans flesh digit) really do rock. :)

Yep. You gotta know that the guy called the police because he was beginning to see dollar signs from potential lawsuits and didn't want to screw anything up.

And I don't see any reason not to call the police for that reason alone.

I have this picture in my head.

Manager slices himself somehow. Blood spurts. Coworkers "rush to help him". One server, however, does not - in the confusion, he slips by and snags the plate the manager was working on, getting it to the table in nothing flat.

Um, what?

Presumably the plate was served after the injured guy was being cared for, taken to the hospital, etc.

And he called the *police*??? Um, no. It's an accident. They happen. Get over it. No, he is not entitled to multi-millions of dollars from Friday's. If he's truly upset, maybe Friday's can pay his therapy bill for a few months.
