Man, I’ll never forget the time I got a bag of fried chicken, took it home, and discovered a bloody severed human hand mixed in. Really grody. I ate the chicken anyway, of course, but I didn’t enjoy it all that much. ---

A friend and I were in a tea room and we were waiting to be helped when we saw one of the people working there bend down to get something out of the display case where all the cakes were and she sneezed. She blew dropplets all over the inside of the case and the food. Then she just went on serving stuff as if nothing happened. My friend and I never went back there because of the “booger gateau”. ---

Found a grub in my Strawberries 'n Cream oatmeal. Found lotsa little black bugs (deceased) in various cereals. A Taco Bell in Arkansas got shut down temporarily b/c a woman complained that her taco smelled funny, and an investigation found human excrement in the meat. (which, by the way is Grade E–one step above dog food.) Also in Arkansas–man found masturbating (and ejaculating) into the mashed potatoes at KFC. At Church’s Chicken–friend of mine’s grandma ordered a “variety basket” or something; got more variety than she bargained for–noticed one of the drumsticks had a tail. BIG FRIED FREAKIN RAT. Didn’t even sue, the crazy bitch. Why don’t people freak out about worms in their tequila?? **MysterEcks** Please, PLEASE, for the love of GOD, tell me you’re being sarcastic. ---

My wife and I were entering a restaurant (cafeteria) to eat when we heard one of the servers say “Oooohhh, Roachville!”. We turned on our heels and left that place one once!. I’ve found lots of hairs in my food. I bit on a rock in a burrito (High School Cafeteria). I also crunched down on a rock at a restaurant while eating a bowl of chili. When I brought it to the managers attention, he was surprised that I didn’t want to pay for the chili! Bastard. I speculate that he thought I was scamming for a free meal! ---

He’s quite serious. It was _my_ hand! But I got this really cool hook to replace it . . .
