6719: Snakes On A Plain Salad.


Food for thought in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• A T.G.I. Friday’s customer in New York found a severed snake’s head in his vegetable dish. The customer was not charged for his meal. However, the restaurant will be revising the latest promotion to $5 sandwiches, salads and snakes.

• KFC in NYC went MIA when too many people showed up bearing coupons for free chicken on Tuesday, leading customers to cry WTF. But the fast feeder made good on its deal the next day. “I’m just really hungry,” said a postal worker enjoying the offer. “Anything for free in New York, you got to take it.” Um, have you been to T.G.I. Friday’s?

• General Motors reported 1Q losses at $6 billion, and the automaker’s CFO whined the threat of bankruptcy is scaring off customers. Heaven forbid the lame GM cars might have anything to do with it.

• Michael Jackson’s publicist and general manager is suing him for $44 million, claiming she wasn’t paid after cutting deals for the King of Pop. It’s only a matter of time before Jacko taps Obama for a bailout.
