Officials: Diner finds finger in chili
The digital revolution's gone too far now - I know the technogeeks love giving the rest of the world the finger, but this is ridiculous.

SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- A diner at a Wendy's fast food restaurant in San Jose, California, found a human finger in a bowl of chili prepared by the chain, local officials said Wednesday.
"This individual apparently did take a spoonful, did have a finger in their mouth and then, you know, spit it out and recognized it," said Ben Gale, director of the department of environmental health for Santa Clara County. "Then they had some kind of emotional reaction and vomited."
Local officials launched an investigation after the incident Tuesday night and the medical examiner determined Wednesday that the object was a human finger.
Officials are trying to determine whether the finger came in the raw materials Wendy's used to prepare the chili, Gale said.
Wendy's International Inc. corporate office did not immediately return a call for comment. Wendy's is the third-largest hamburger chain.

That victim should sue under the law of tort!

I'm sure they'll get down to that once they finger the guy who's responsible.

Before that happens, watch out for for quite a fair bit of finger pointing between several partiesOriginally posted by Gedanken:I'm sure they'll get down to that once they finger the guy who's responsible.

Sad for the dude who's missing a finger, guess he won't be fingering anyone for some time now.Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Before that happens, watch out for for quite a fair bit of finger pointing between several parties -
He probably wouldn't be worrying about it for quite a while - he's got a handful to deal with as it is.Originally posted by foxwalk:Sad for the dude who's missing a finger, guess he won't be fingering anyone for some time now. -
How could you point back at other when you yourself are missing a finger?

Theres always the middle fingerOriginally posted by foxwalk:How could you point back at other when you yourself are missing a finger? ... anyway he still has 9 fingers right? -
It's quite sad that the poor finger-missing dude may get sued even though he is a victim himself too.Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Theres always the middle finger ... anyway he still has 9 fingers right? -
seriously, the finger probably belongs to some poor sap working less than minimal wage in the meat-packing hellholes... with no legal papers, no education, no protection.. nothing...
and he's probably been fired for being unable to work without his finger

Yeah. But then if he's American, they can always go to court and win millions of dollars from the case right?Originally posted by the Bear:seriously, the finger probably belongs to some poor sap working less than minimal wage in the meat-packing hellholes... with no legal papers, no education, no protection.. nothing...

doubt it.. the poor sap who has lost his finger would probably have been thrown back across the border...
they do hire a lot of illegal migrant workers...
