Now you know why.....

[KneelBeforeZod]

check the packing plant for any frat boys who have access to the medical school

[Savage Beast]

Accidents?

It's an argument for a national DNA data bank for missing persons.

[Husker24]

Was it at least cooked?

[null and void]

Yeah. Now if we could just get all the missing persons to come forward to give a DNA sample...

[Husker24]

Maybe the Meat packing plant got a tip that the INS was coming, so they threw all the illegals into the hopper.

Dave Thomas was a strong conservative. This could be a leftist setup.

Guess this finger tried to pick a winner and the "winner" picked back... NOT finger licking good (sorry KFC).

Yep. It's finger licking good chili!

In Dave Thomas's book, he notes that Wendy's introduced Chili as a menu item in order to recycle hamburgers that had "expired" and spent too much time waiting to be sold, after cooking. After reading that, I decided to try their chili, and did about a half dozen times. Sure enough, maybe two times, I found large pieces of beef that clearly were cooked as hamburgers before being broken up into slightly larger than ideal size pieces for chili. Well, knowing that, I might not have had a problem with a piece of finger, unless it still had the bone in it. That kinda creeps me out.

Wendy's said the finger did not come from the restaurant's employees. It is also confident company suppliers are not to blame because of product coding that allows the company to trace where a product comes from, the day it was produced, when it was shipped and when it arrived at the restaurant, Lynch said.

However, he acknowledged the process was "not absolutely 100 percent perfect."

This statement is corporatese for "...except for the jillion pounds of chili we import each week from slave farms in Mexico".

[Enterprise]

He's making money hand over fist down there.

Come on over to this thread and sing WINDY

[skimask]

Do you think it might be part of that guy who fell in the sausage machine?

[FarRightTexan]

This is not a surprise to me.

I got food poisoning from a Wendy's meal I consumed during March 2002. I was out of commission for two days.

[Thinkin' Gal]

They can't find who lost the finger.

Try the taco salad.

Hey! That's a good idea! Here's another one: We could bank DNA samples before we wind up missing! I wonder why we didn't think of that???
