hey, it looks like you got lost. I think you meant to go here

Apparently, our girl has sued numerous people in the past, including another fast food chain. The plot thickens! Somebody's gonna get fingered!

Sounds like her lawsuit may get a "chili" reception.

gurk.. not to side step some of this, but having worked in food service for 16 years.. there are alot of things you don't want to know...

the thing that bothers me is there are two types of people who go into this line of work... the overactive underachievers (who mostly have some other avenue that they work at usually a creative path.. music,film etc) and those who can't get a job doing anything else... creeps, psychopaths.. the terminally mentally ill.. oh! I can tell you stories.. a finger in the chilli sand me this message 'uh, one of thier plant has been hiring illegal immigrants, one of them lost a finger, they covered the cost of the finger, and paid them a little more not to say anything about it...(oh damn the book is escaping me.. the jungle? about 1920's meat packing?.. 'bout the same thing.. trust me.. I'm in Kansas... it's nasty business)... anyway.. don't eat fast food. period 8 times out of 10 you will be served something 'other' than what you ordered.. and by other. well..... use your imagination

The latest is that this lady has a recently-deceased AUNT, and authorities are pursuing that angle. I suspect that the aunt was conveniently cremated though. If the finger had been cooked in the chili there is probably not going to be much of a fingerprint left, but they did get one.

As for they "mystery meat" problem, the movie that comes to my mind immediately is Fried Green Tomatoes, but of course I would not have been dining in one of those picturesque Mafia-decor spaghetti parlors anyway whereas good ol' Suthern barbeque is a possibliity.

Wasn't that a plot point of Motel Hell, also??

They can do genetic testing of the digit, and if they have samples to test against (known parent or sibling) they could determine likelihood that it came from the auntie.

People like this woman are the biggest reason why we need tort reform. Finger aside for a moment, people are too eager to "lawyer up" when half the time, the event that occurred is really THEIR FAULT!

her story about how the police broke into her house and roughed up her daughter (complete with shiny new arm sling) borders on the absurd as well. If this woman took her dead aunt's finger to use in a fast-food lawsuit, she should get more than a slap on the wrist. I'm not sure how many laws she would have broken, but it's bound to be several.

So, they arrested the woman. Could be just another great American sham to screw someone out of money in court. Sadly, despite lost sales and a lot of money spent investigating the incident, Wendy's will probably get nothing from the ordeal, since she likely doesn't have much money.

And this is AFTER she dropped her case, because it was just "too stressful" (poor dear) - But the papers aren't saying what they arrested her for - Stealing a finger off a dead body? Temporarily ruining Wendys' business? Fraud? Making me never want to eat chili ever again?

I think they arrested her for larceny. I think her gig is up.

Hm.

Can they add "Wasting Taxpayers Valuable Tax Dollars on the Investigation"? I think that's a felony........anyway it would be if I were Queen.

maybe we could use her for a new reality game show. think fear factor, lots of chili related challenges... the winner gets to put 2 in the back of her head, and the losers have to eat chili made with - you guessed it! the lieing litigous bitch!

where do I audition?
