Dalton, GA- One day at the local Taco Bell(the Cleveland Hwy. one,) a woman ordered a lunch. Sounds like a simple, everyday thing, right? Not this time. She sat down at a table, took a bite of the old classic, Taco Supreme, and noticed something a little bit odd about this taco. No, it wasn't that there was too much lettuce, and the hot sauce was no hotter than usual. What made this taco stand out from the pack was the fact that it contained a band-aid. Apparently, since none of the people who prepare the food in the back wear gloves, and one of them had a little boo-boo, the Band-Aid on this boo-boo just kinda fell into the taco. Yes, at no extra charge, this lucky woman was given the privalige to eat someone's used Band-Aid. Well, she didn't see it this way, especially after she made a trip to the doctor. She was diagnosed with Hepatitis, and since she didn't have Hepatitis the last time she checked, she assumed that not only did she get a complimentary Band-Aid with her taco, she also got a free disease, and with that probably some get well soon cards! What a deal! Well as I said, she didn't think so, as she immediately filed a lawsuit against Taco Bell. The last I heard, it was still going on because in a case like this, the litigants probably don't have much past a 7th grade education, and that makes it hard for any substantial arguments to be made. This could go on for a while, and then make it to appeals courts, eventually winding up in the Supreme Court. Here's hoping they show the trial on Court TV; that way, not only would we be the Carpet Capital of the World, but also the Hepatitis Generosity Capital of the World. Sounds good to me. |
