Ah, the chili plot thickens.

Caught with a finger in the cookie jar. Make her pay restitution for losses at Wendy's. Or better yet, scrub the restaurants floors for the rest of her life with a toothbrush. That will stop this kind of malarky.

You might be a Redneck if.....

....You've ever used a body part to pay off a small debt.

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Why would you sell your finger in the first place? Sounds like the whole circle of people are insane.

[hunter112]

So, when are they gonna bust the husband for at least his part in a conspiracy? Are either of these two illegals?

[Calico Cat]

I don't believe it for a minute. They're just picking on her because she's a little Latina, and not a big, tall white man!

...wearing a suit. That's what she said at one point - they're picking on my because I'm Latina and not a white man wearing a suit. I love victims.

[Calico Cat]

Don't mind victims as much as I mind people who yowl, screech and whine about their perceived 'victimhood'. It's masochistic, and it makes me want to satisfy their needs with a good sock in the jaw.

"Why would you sell your finger in the first place?"

What else you going to do with it. Wear it on a chain around your neck? Frame it and hang it on the wall? If some idiot wanted to give me $50 for it I would probably take the money too.

Start hacking. I've got a grand.

"was caught in a mechanical truck hoist"

I thought that they stated that it was a well manicured finger. Not what one would expect for someone that does physical work.

[connectthedots]

When is/was the Wendy's free Frosty promotion?

"Start hacking. I've got a grand."

It will cost a lot more than that to intentionally cut one off. Bidding starts at 2 million. I will take that grand if I ever accidentally lose a finger though;^) What are you going to do with it? I have to warn you, I will cooperate with police if you are planning a scam.

[Mears]

Start saving the kiddies teeth as they fall out. Hey,a tooth here,a tooth there could take you on a very nice vacation.

[SmithL]

I got a free frosty last Friday. I don't know if they're still giving them away.

The co-worker's right ring finger was sheered off

This appeared in an allegedly-major newspaper? With Professional Journalists and Editors who are highly-trained instead of sitting around in their pajamas? Shear genius!

[G.Mason]

LOL!!!
