Just heard a "this just in" flash on KFI AM640 in Los Angeles that the police in Las Vegas have executed a search warrant on the home of the woman who found a finger in her Wendy's chili. Police suspect the finger may that of the woman's dead aunt.
I blow in once in a while and stay at the Bellagio. $200 a night is worth being with nice people. A little craps there and the Luxor and maybe one other place. I like the 43 exotic choices they have for breakfast the next morning and pig out. I usually do < $1000 over cost and drive home. Pinch a loaf and fill the tank at Whiskey Pete's before doing 90 MPH back to L.A. County:):)
...Or get a foot in the door!
All I can picture is this woman cladestinely cutting off the finger at the viewing.
Was embalming fluid found in the digit?
Where did she keep the finger before planting it?
Did she put the finger in her chili, then eat some of it to look convincing? (gag)
I know, I read the book at least 40 years ago, but it sure made an impression if I can recall it to this day. It was probably recommended to me by one of my socialist trainers teachers.
You have worked in one I take it? :)
"Pinch a loaf..."
You have to steal a loaf of bread to get you home, huh? Couldn't you just ask for a doggie bag from the breakfast?
On the other hand, I've been buying chili all the time like a lottery ticket. Find the finger and win a million dollars.
LOL!! Very clever.
So, I wonder if she killed the aunt for the finger and this was all a plan to get millions from Wendy's (RIP Dave), or, did auntie die conveniently and the idea came to the niece in a vision at the funeral parlor?
I've eaten at the very Wendy's the finger was found at a few times since then.
At most 2 or 3 customers in the store. Usually they have a couple dozen.
She's cost them PLENTY.
Caveat: always make sure you do a "search" first just to make sure no one else beat you to the punch. The Quick among the Quick are on FREEp, always be careful.
BTW: remember in elementary school (generally) that there was always some kid walking up to people, saying "Pull My Finger".. ?
It's a real stumper, for sure.
In canned chili..already distributed and consumed?
. . . I used to represent a certain soft drink bottling company . . . and of all the claims they got about mice, roaches, miscellaneous trash and what not in a bottle or a can, 85% were fakes by folks angling for a cash settlement. (Most of the rest were pranks played by co-workers with doubtful senses of humor.) One or two we were never sure about, but the vast majority did not originate in the plant.
Until the allegations are proven true... no pointing fingers!
TOO LATE!
Might be boxed in, perhaps there's an eager beaver lawyer willing to rise to the defense. Hopefully he won't muff the case.
Am sure there's a private dick retained by some party.
And so it goes. What a drama, order chili get the finger. But give the dead aunt her due, she did have a hand in the matter, perhaps.
I'm thinking a bug or a giant glistening floogie might have done the trick.
"Can't imagine wendy's would allow a piece of meat that big get into their chili. It would have been ground up small enough that it likely would not have been recognizable."
And that logic is supposed to somehow comfort the Fast Food Crowd? LOL! :)
Also if the aunt was related through the maternal line, the mitochondrial DNA should be identical. The mitochondrial DNA is located in the mitochondria not the nucleus, and humans gets all their mitochondria from the egg cell and none from the sperm that formed the zygote are the original source of all the body's cells.
Not EVERYTIME.
Probably everytime lawyers &/or the press get involved, though.
The well preserved cockroach in the bottle of R.C. Cola I found 'the hard way' and spit out was quite real. Back in those days, I was happy to 'settle' for a replacement bottle, sans roach.
Got the SF-180 on file... while in the Army she had an itchy trigger finger!
