It is truly disturbing what people will do these days to get their hands on money, that is not due them. This lady is a prime example of such a person. Wendy's has suffered a lot of financial troubles in the San Jose area and nationwide because of this debacle, to the point of having to let some of their employees go. Did Anna Ayala ever think that the money she is wrongfully suing for could possibly have affected the lives of hard working people who do their jobs faithfully day-in and day-out trying to make an earnest living? I think not. Rant off.

EDITORIAL: LESSONS FROM WENDY'S

Perhaps it says something about an entertainment-crazed society that a story about a human finger allegedly found in a bowl of chili at Wendy's quickly became a joke. The obvious human tragedy (did someone in the food industry lose a finger?) was swept aside by dark chuckles over "finger food," "nail biting" and other dark, if fairly unimaginative, puns. Everyone from late-night comedians to headline writers seemed to get into the act.

So it looks like even the husband has gotten in the mix here, as the finger belonged to one of his associates. I wonder if the 3 of them were going to split the lawsuit judgement if it had actually gone to trial?

That took a lot of very patient planning.

Crook #1 "Hey, my finger was cut off in an accident at work."

Crook #2 "Really? Bummer man. ... wait a sec! Do you still have the finger?"

Crook #1 "Yeah, why?"

Crook #2 "I think we can use it later. Put it in the freezer for me, okay? I wanna talk to my wife about this....."

FIRST WENDY'S DIP IN 18 YEARS

For the first time in 18 years, annual sales at Wendy's hamburger restaurants open more than a year fell in 2005 - partly because of fallout from a woman who planted a human finger in a bowl of chili, a story that took a few weeks to discredit.
