Seattle Restaurant Serves Up Obesity Waiver
Order a signature dessert at the 5 Spot eatery in Seattle, and you'll have
to sign a liability waiver first. The semi-serious gimmick applies to "a sugar-coated, deep-fried, ice-cream-swaddled, caramel-drizzled, whipped-cream-anointed banana" called The Bulge, reports the Washington Post. Before you can take your first bite of the fattening fare, you have to sign a waiver that states, "I will not impose any sort of obesity-related lawsuit against the 5 Spot or consider any similar type of frivolous legislation created by a hungry trial lawyer." 5 Spot co-owner Peter Levy says the creation stemmed from anger at trial attorneys who want to make restaurants accountable for their patrons' eating habits. "We came up with the most fattening and delicious dessert we could think of," he tells the Post. -- Scott Roberts ******* -- Steve º¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤º Steve Chaney Remove "Vegetus." to get my real email address See the soc.singles HALL OF STUPID: http://member.newsguy.com/~gunhed/hallofstupid "If only sheep could cook, we wouldn't need women at all! 8)" - Dizzy, Message-ID: "Outside of this group, I don't remember hearing anyone in RL say that fat people are worthless." - some anonymous coward admitting the truth, Message-ID: "I watched The Accused last night with Jodie Foster.
