Have It (Flushed) Your Way

by The Panda Man · 04/30/2008 2:10 pm

If you enjoy fast food from time to time, you may want to begin checking your burgers for lemony-freshness.

SANFORD, Fla. — Eyewitness News discovered a popular Sanford fast food restaurant that’s accused of storing food on the floor inside the men’s restroom.

“The bread was stacked sky high to the ceiling, plus it was only about 12 inches from the men’s commode,” said former customer Willie Jones.

Never fear, fast eaters, for local government is on the case:

Unfortunately, [health inspectors] don’t know how long the Sanford Checkers kept both bread and cups in a bathroom that was quickly cleaned as Eyewitness News arrived Tuesday.

Anyone for dessert? I hear the toilet cakes are a local specialty.

This makes me wonder. I have been in restaurant restrooms where they put ice in the urinals. I was told it was to get rid of fowl odor. Maybe it was just more convenient there?

So those mints in the urinal aren’t for eating????

So I guess you’re all saying that I shouldn’t be washing my face with the soap hanging off to the side?

Checkers needs to hire faster thinking workers. I would have told the news crews, “Them’s not buns - that’s extra toilet paper.”

Florida…..So thats how the Cubans age their bread huh? I always wondered what gave those pressed sandwiches their special flavor (essense of the urinal goat).

I can’t believe no one has come up with a joke using the word ‘flush’ yet!

Too bad the establishment wasn’t in Flushing Meadows, NY.

Simple, imagine being a new recruit at PI or MCRD San Diego and having to tell the drill instructor that was your home town.
