The motto at the popular Heart Attack Grill in Tempe, Ariz., is: "Taste ... worth dying for!" That's because it serves only artery-clogging food like big hamburgers (the biggest is called the "Quadruple Bypass") and "Flatliner Fries," which are boiled in lard. The restaurant's website says: "Insane political correctness stands as a barrier between the average man and his pursuit of happiness."
I guess that's why they refuse to sell diet soda or "diet" anything.
And, oh, yes, the waitresses wear sexy costumes.
But this is not what earned the Heart Attack Grill a threatening letter from Arizona's attorney general. What upset the government was that the Heart Attack Grill waitresses call themselves "nurses." The waitresses dress like nurses — although in some cases like nurses you'd see only in an X-rated movie. After customers eat the fatty food, they can ask their "nurse" to wheel them out to their car in a wheelchair — just like at the hospital.
The customers like the gimmick, and the nurse-waitresses like working there, but the Arizona Board of Nursing says the restaurant violates state law. According to an intimidating letter from the office of the attorney general, only a person who holds a valid license to practice nursing may use the title "nurse."

That's good news for the "nurses," and their customers. But the busybodies seldom rest for long. How long will it be before some other government officials threaten to shut down the Heart Attack Grill because of its name? Or because it sells fatty food?
Next week: How some busybodies stopped churches from serving food to the poor.
It looks like all the important stuff has been taken care of in Arizona and now they are working on the B.S.
If a negative public image was enough to stop recruitment, our nation wouldn't be burdened with so many lawyers.
I'll be glad to see the end to Nappy and her pet frog AG Terry Goddard.
I wish the government did something useful.
The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent, by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other - until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand
Yes, ol Ayn lived in constant fear of esperanto.
I guess this must come under the identity theft law?
Girls gone wild.
Can you get a Strawberry Parkinson's Shake with that Quadruple Bypass Burger?
[/badtaste off]
or a Sandy Berger...
Do not upset the nurses union, you will be sorry.
They could call them "caregivers" or "ass-istants", Does any group own the rights to "candy stripers"....lots of options out there.
I like the theme though, the next time I go to Az. I must find this place and get a big greasy burger and fries.
Just throw that Sandy Berger in the dumpster.
Given that I'd have to speak SPANISH to understand half of what is said at assemblies at my daughter's school, I'm thinkiny esperanto might not have been a bad thing, we skipped it and went straight to h*ll.
My daughter's dream now is to make enough money to move to Canada to get away from all the hispanic illegals, who harass the natives every day and get away with it, apparently because the school is afraid of looking like they are attacking the poor minorities (who are actually a majority of the school).
cant decide which looks better, the burger or the waitress. hmmmm have to go with the burger. It will take years to kill me but the wife would kill me quickly if I chose the waitress.
'Constant Retreat'
That would be the GOP leadership in a nutshell.
