"We want to determine who this finger belongs to and how it ended up in a bowl of chili."

Awesome.

[Dartful Dodger]

Chocolate covered ants is not the same as chili covered aunts.

[GGKoul]

Wendy has no record of the finger coming from any employees working that day or any of the suppliers.  So I appears she may have planted it...

Her and the people who sat with her that evening are suing Wendy's and Wendy's has full right to find out where the finger came from as they searched and they have no idea where the finger came from.

[ChadTower]

Yeah, like Wendy's is going to come out and admit that.  If they admit it they   may as well write her a blank check.

[Stingray]

I worked at a Wendys back when I was a teenager. They make the Chili in house using left over hamburger meat that gets too overcooked to serve as burgers, so it wouldn't have anything to do with suppliers. Sounds like it was planted to me.

If she wants money she will have to prove who the finger came from and how it might have gotten there. wendys doesn't have to do a damn thing exept show proof that theyre employees have all theyre fingers.

[mr.Curmudgeon]

Actually, I prefer my chili with extra toes. Adds a robust flavor.

This chili needs more cowbell.

What would be tough to crew through

I had this nagging feeling something was wrong with this story....I just couldn't put my finger on it

     GROAN!     

[shmokes]

I'm not sure the lady will have to prove where the finger came from.  I think Wendy's is screwed unless THEY can show that the lady planted it.  Even if all their employees have their fingers a disgruntled employee could have put it there as a practical joke in the same way you hear stories of employees at Tacobell taking a dump in the beans.  Maybe one of the employees has a sibling in medical school who works on cadavers.

I'm not saying that the lady didn't plant it herself, I'm just saying that I doubt a jury will give Wendy's the benefit of the doubt and, in fact, I doubt a jury will hear the case.  Wendy's wants the public to doubt that the finger came from them, but will still settle with the diners.  That's how I think it's going down.

[Shape D.]

Pooping in the beans... as if they didn't taste bad enugh already....
I think I'm going to be si......huaghhhhh

ohhh man I feel better now.

[tommy]

Thats just nuts that something like that could happen.

Since nobody will point the cops in the right direction, they'll just have to knuckle down if they really want to nail the guilty person.

Heck, maybe some supplier tossed his ex-wife into the meat grinder or something.  Just telling the suppliers and employees to hold out their hands so we can check for missing fingers seems a bit shortsighted to me.

[fredster]

Somebody lost a finger someplace.  I just looked around in my refrigerator and freezer, and I didn't find any of mine missing.  Anybody loose one?

Where does one get a human finger anyway?  If you find one on the street what should you do? Just say "oh, look there's a finger" and go on? 

Where did it come from, who did it come off of and when are perfectly good CSI kinda questions.  If this woman has a finger in a bowl of chili, then somebody is missing it somewhere.

[missioncontrol]

Just checked got all ten of my fingers.........

but,

I don't work for Wendy's nor a supplier of Wendy's

If she wins, there's at least one person in this world who won't be holding up two fingers for victory, but instead, giving her the finger for cashing in on their pain!

It's all they can legally do.

Uh, no it's not.  I mean, sure, it's all Wendy's can do, but not the police.  If the police can check out the woman's house, they can check out missing persons reports and link them to areas where Wendy's gets their beef.

[psik0tik]

did someone really take a crap in the beans....puke.....i thought that was just a fairy tale....puke....

[shmokes]

For all I know it is an urban legend (crapping in beans), but it's not all that unlikely.  It would certainly take a lot less work than planting a severed finger in the chili.

As for the finger, I think it is being suggested that it belongs to the woman's dead grandmother.  If there is evidence suggesting this I would imagine that any judge hearing the case would order the grandmother's body exumed to make sure it didn't once belong to her.

[missioncontrol]

looks like she's got a history of trying to become rich in lawsuits:

Man, I just went to the food court and passed on of them there Taco-Bell 'restaurants'. Thanks to you guys, now all I can think of now is some dude taking a dump in the beans. Don't think I'll be able to eat there anymore!

Sounds like the 'safest' place to eat is one of those Chineese/Japanese cook it while yer there places. At least *I think* you know what yer eatin!

I like those places.  They help keep the stray dogs and cats population down.

exactly.....I don't ever recall seeing a stray dog while in Hong Kong

"Wendy's Chili. A taste so unusual, you can't put a finger on it!"



How about in it?

[missioncontrol]

Just heard she decided not to sue Wendy's

hmmmmmmmm

guess her plan wasn't as thought out as she thought..........

[Dartful Dodger]

guess her plan wasn't as thought out as she thought..........

Not much of a plan.

[clanggedin]

I highly doubt she got any cash when there is a $50,000 reward and the FBI is investigating her for fraud on this and other lawsuits she has filed with other companies.

[tommy]

Just heard she decided not to sue Wendy's

hmmmmmmmm

Im sure they paid her off to drop it.

[Zakk]

There is absolutely no way Wendy's paid her.

[Dartful Dodger]

If it ever got out that they paid her hush money it would make them look guilty.

It won't get out.

The only one that might talk would be the woman. You have already decided that she is a fraud and if she says they paid her, you'd all say she was playing a different scam to get money from those gossip rags.

[Zakk]

I think you just like to take the opposing position just to argue 

However, sure, some guy in the back of Wendy's chopped his finger off and thew it in a bucket of chili and let it be served to this woman, who is just the stooge of the corporations. 

As for hush money talk not getting out, how about the millions paid to that 'M. Jackson accuser woman', seems like she's not keeping too quiet at the trials!   

Still whatever gets you through the day.  (hides copy of national enquirer)

[ChadTower]

As for hush money talk not getting out, how about the millions paid to that 'M. Jackson accuser woman', seems like she's not keeping too quiet at the trials!   

Hush money paid by a corporation would have a nondisclosure clause in it that would require her to return the money if she talked.

Being paid by a psycho to play with your son's dingaling would not have such a clause.

[Zakk]

So if it turns out this finger is linked genetically to this woman or her friends/family, you guys will claim it's a huge corporate coverup?  Perhaps they paid her to say it was all a scam?   


Do you guys know if they really landed on the moon or not?? 

[ChadTower]

I say she planted it... if you had read the stories, you'd see she has sued fast food chains before as well as other local businesses.

[Zakk]

I only read the Star, and it says that aliens FORCERD her to put the finger in there... 

Actually, I haven't been following the story closely at all, I like to wait for the outcome of stuff like that to take it all in!
