A New Jersey appellate court says a man cannot seek damages for burns he suffered while bowing his head in prayer over a sizzling steak fajita skillet at a restaurant.
The ruling made public Wednesday upheld a lower court ruling that dismissed his lawsuit. The man claimed a waitress didn't warn him the dish was hot, but the lower court found the food posed an "open and obvious" danger.

He likely offended the Aztec god of spicy Tex-Mex food, Texamexagonapoopalotl.

I think the question is, we’re the fajitas served prior to his putting his face near them, or were they put there as he prayed.
So if this isn’t a frivolous case that should have been thrown out the moment it was filed, what is?
I mean, here’s a little context: a court gave standing to a guy who slammed his face onto a plate of hot fajitas and only then discovered that it was hot, but the court won’t give standing to 300 million people who want to see the birth certificate of their President.
Something’s seriously wrong in this country.
“Gentleman come in. Now we don’t want to take up much of your time. Let’s make this short and sweet. We’re prepared to offer you all the free fajitas you want in any of our stores throughout North America and Europe, Plus..”
KRAMER: (Interrupting) I’LL TAKE IT!!
[Jackie and Kramer in the back of a cab]
JACKIE: I’ll take it? Who told you to take it? Did I tell you to take it?
KRAMER: No.
JACKIE: I know the Maestro didn’t tell you to take it, he wasn’t there.
Judge should have sentenced him to only ordering burritos from now on.
Well, if the meat is bad it could result in a heave offering.
Something brought to your table hot and sizzling should already give you a heads up ... it’s why they print “Caution, product will be hot” on microwave meals ....
More anti-religious court rulings!

That kind of sarcasm is not obvious on this forum. I sure wish it was, but it’s not.
Sounds like the fajitas attacked this poor man for praying. What would the fajitas do if it was a mooslim praying?
I guess it coulda been worse for him

Never know these days...
“Was he praying to remain safe from the fajitas? Did he take this as a sign that his prayers did not find favor with the Almighty?”
The Pastafarian was punished by his “God” for eating food that was not Halal - a fahita is Not a real, Halal pasta!
McD’s will now want to get its money back from that litigant who didn’t know coffee is hot
Better not eat at Steer Inn pal...you might end up with a flank steak welded to your head.
What is this world coming to?
Next thing you know, somebody’s gonna say that if you intentionally hit yourself in the head with a hammer you can’t sue the hammer manufacturer...

“... the very first time in his life that he had ordered fajitas...”
That and being completely DEAF! You can hear those things sizzle from across the room. Plus.. the steam is usually a good indicator of something being hot!! :)
If he had ordered the fajita Jihad special, his whole body would have been burned.
Now I want a steak fajita. Sounds tasty.
