Man....

Before I die, I have GOT to eat at this joint!

A restaurant in the southwestern US state of Arizona that proudly admits to trying to finish off its customers has introduced a new item on its menu -- the "quadruple bypass burger".

The burger at the "Heart Attack Grill" restaurant is stacked with four beef patties, cheese, onions, tomatoes and fried bacon, and weighs in at only 8,000 calories, more than three times what the human body needs in one day.

Patrons who have no appetite for the "quadruple bypass burger" can opt for the "triple" or "double-bypass".

"It's not good for one's health but it's only a joke," John Basso, who opened the restaurant 10 months ago, told AFP.

Customers who have room for more can also order French fries "fried in pure lard" and can purchase cigarettes off the menu. As a courtesy, the restaurant offers its "best customers" a wheelchair service to their cars by waitresses dressed in slinky nurses' outfits.

The idea, however, has not gone down well with the Arizona State Board of Nursing which has expressed concern that some patrons may confuse the waitresses with real nurses.

Now I have had the misfortune of knowing quite a few nurses in my time, (Not that it was a misfortune to know them, but the circumstances in which I got to know them...), and I don't remember EVER encountering one dressed like that... If they had been perhaps my recuperation might have taken a bit longer.

I think the story above is exactly what is wrong with America these days, we go overboard on the Politically correct thing. Hell, here in Costa Rica, that joint would be wall to wall guys every night of the week, half of them vegetarians!

I might just write the guy about franchising opportunities. Can you imagine someone like THIS serving you a burger, in an outfit like that?

Anyway, this guy is not going anywhere. With the publicity he is getting out of this, there will be a traffic jam all the way to Los Angeles, led by someone like Tony Pierce, just to get into the joint!
