Posted by David Bernstein: Finger in the Wendy's Chili Story: Most readers have apparently heard about the woman who tried to sue Wendy's after allegedly finding a finger in her chili. (I was skeptical from the start: chili has ground beef in it; how would a finger make it through processing intact? Besides, I told my Torts class this semester that foreign-object-in-fast-food cases turn out to be bogus much more often than you'd think.)
The saving grace of the story is a great (though not entirely tasteful) one-liner from Bill Maher: "Luckily, it was only a finger. If it had been a whole hand, Congress would have tried to keep it alive." _______________________________________________ Volokh mailing list [email protected] http://highsorcery.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volokh
