Thank God they didn't order the coffee.

I wasn't aware you could get a bagel in NW Florida, but then I'm more likely to eat at the Dixie Dandy rather than McD's.

First lolrof OF THE DAY!

If bad teeth comes between that couple's marriage, they had problems already.

"The suit did not say what exactly was wrong with the bagel."

Another nuisance suit filed by an attorney in need of a car payment.

[Tijeras_Slim]

violated an "implied warranty that the food sold was reasonably fit for human consumption."

Which McDonald's are they talking about?

[Centurion2000]

So is this frivolous lawsuit going to heal the guy's teeth and marraige ?

Good grief, this happened just accross the bridge from me.

Usually it's people from Canada ("Snowbirds") who come down here to complain and find fault with everything they can, so my first assumption is that the so-called victims are from Canada or the northern tier of U.S. states that have learned to act like Canadians.

You never want to be behind them in the check-out line at a supermarket or you'll quickly learn how these people act when on vacation with a lot of time on their hands.

They do nothing but complain and nit-pick about every little thing. Then they get on our highways and drive 8 mph in a 45 mph zone. They especially love to do this when it's on a narrow highway so that you can't pass them.

The free enterprise solution to their problem is to use your wallet and take your business elsewhere. It is not necessary to sue everyone that displeases you.

I refuse to patronize the local McDonalds for a different reason. They are the slowest McD's in the world...but then that fits in with the Canadians as they have an affinity for slow.

[Brytani]

If anything, McDonald's should be sued for selling bagels in the first place.

What do they market it as? McBagel, McCream Cheese and McLox?

[Loyalist]

The suit alleges the wife "lost the care, comfort, consortium and society of her husband."

She lost consortium because of his teeth? Some people do strange things in the name of love.

[genefromjersey]

Waaah ! The bagel was hard, but he wasn't !!

[DJ Frisat]

"...she never before had a bagel complaint and had no idea how it could have been prepared in a way that would damage teeth."

Only replying to this aspect of the article, not the merit or lack of, of the suit: one way of rendering a bagle inedible is to microwave it on high for a minute or two, then let it cool. Tooth-breaking tough? I don't know, but they sure can get hard!

[Political Junkie Too]

I know what's going on.

He thought he was ordering a bagel with a smear, not a bagel with a shmear.

"implied warranty that the food sold was reasonably fit for human consumption."

Obviously not fit for consumption by senile retards.

First the granny with the coffee, now these old idiots. I am beginning to think they should introduce "Carousel" a la "Logan's Run" before we are completely overrun by these geezer terrorists.

[bandleader]

What does she mean?Maybe she is married to the wrong guy?If she wants that kind of care,she should be married to Marv Albert!!

[Darth Reagan]

As a member of the American Bar Association, I know that this lawsuit is very embarrasing to the bar...or it should be. Every month, the ABA's magazine whines about how lawyers in general have such a bad rap for the actions of a few. Well, if they'd grow some balls and disbar attorneys like this one (assuming there's no rock or something in the bagel), or disbar attorneys like the ones suing McD for making people fat, then maybe the ABA's complaints about an "undeserved" negative reputation could be heard.

But, I expect no action to be taken. I wonder why this lawyer won't return the reporter's phone calls?

[Junior]

I swear, we are a nation of total wooses. And money-hungry wooses at that.

[aruanan]

A couple is suing the franchisee of a McDonald's restaurant, claiming an improperly prepared bagel damaged the husband's teeth and their marriage.

Bogus suit. Years ago I asked my dentist who was crowning one of my molars broken off while eating crunchy trail mix what was the most common thing people were eating when breaking a tooth. He said soft dinner rolls.

[MJM59]

I broke a tooth on a hamburger during a Navy Command lunch. Who can I sue? May be worth half a gazillion dollars:)
