The Dallas Cowboys are being put on the hot seat for literally having one.
Jennelle Carrillo, who lives in Cleburne, is suing the Cowboys and team owner Jerry Jones for the third-degree burns she suffered on her buttocks after sitting on a black, marble bench at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium two years ago while waiting for the debut Blue & Silver scrimmage.
Carrillo was hospitalized and had to have skin grafts on her derriere, according to a lawsuit filed in Tarrant County civil court late last week.
"It was hot enough to produce third-degree burns through her clothing that day," said Mike Wash, the Austin attorney representing Carrillo. "She did not stay for the scrimmage. I'm surprised there aren't more reports of burn injuries from sitting on those dark, black benches."

In her lawsuit, Carrillo contends that Cowboys Stadium officials didn't warn her or others about the dangers of sitting on the uncovered bench in the hot summer sun.
"No signs were posted at or near the bench warning that it was too hot to sit on nor was the bench roped off to prevent persons from sitting on it," the lawsuit states.
Wash said he didn't know how long Carrillo sat on the bench, but when she got up to use the restroom, she discovered her burns.

Because of her bench warming experience, Carrillo has suffered mental anguish, physical pain, and disfigurement, according to the suit.

Or even a “light black” bench.
“Wash said he didn’t know how long Carrillo sat on the bench, but when she got up to use the restroom, she discovered her burns.”
Lord have mercy! It’s Texas.......it’s HOT.
But, to not realize you have third degree burns until you go to the bathroom?
That woman has, either, no nerves in her butt, or no brain in her head.

I love that quote! You are one fart smeller. ;o)
She’s just being an ass
Judge: “You may approach the bench - no, not that way”
Y'know, the brain has no sensory receptors...
I don’t believe she’s telling the truth. If her butt was that numb that she couldn’t feel the heat enough to get off the bench she’s too numb. Period.
She burned her butt somewhere else later and remembered the potential big bank of the bench two years ago.
So she’s either a crook or a moron. My opinion is “yes.”
She must have no nerve endings in her butt. And it’s not possible for her flesh to have been charred (3rd degree burn) in that circumstance. Therefore, the rest of her sad tale of woe is suspect as well.
1st degree = reddened, tender skin
2nd degree = blisters and pain
3rd degree = charred, cooked flesh
well that just burns my a$$.....
LOL! Well played!
I still can’t believe she’d sit on the bench in the first place. This woman redefines “dumb”.
Yes, and I agree with Heinlein’s quote, too.
Maybe somebody heated it up with a blow-torch when no one was lookin?!
The bench? Or the butt?
LOL! Good point!
Starting school soon?
Started this week. Oy.
