Thumb Salad

Yummy:

The severed tip of a restaurant worker's thumb was found
in a customer's salad. Stark County Health Commissioner Bill Franks
said an employee at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers in the Canton suburb
Jackson Township was chopping lettuce at about 7 p.m. Monday when he
cut off a part of his left thumb, including part of the fingernail.
Employees at the restaurant about 70 miles south of Cleveland searched
for the tip of his finger, but could not find it. The area was cleaned
and sanitized, but the lettuce was placed in the cooler. The lettuce
was then used for salads the next day. "It wound up being served at
lunch time Tuesday to a 22-year-old woman," Franks said. She had eaten
most of her salad when she put the human tissue in her mouth, Franks
said. She thought it was a piece of gristle, a health department report
said. She then alerted a manager.

Why is it that every article about Paris Hilton is accompanied by a googalimillion pictures, but they can't have one stinking picture when somebody gets served a thumb salad or a drunk nun crashes her tractor???

Life is so unfair.
