Mmmm..... finger licking good
Discussion
From the bbc website...
A US man found a severed finger in a tub of ice cream, then refused to give it back to an injured employee.
Clarence Stowers bought a pint of chocolate ice cream from Kohl's Frozen Custard in Wilmington, North Carolina. When he found a chewy object in his mouth, he assumed it was one of the ingredients, until he spat it out, washed the ice cream off - and found that it was a finger.
Kohl employee Brandon Fizer, 23, had lost the finger in a work accident. Mr Fizer had accidentally put his finger into a machine used to beat the icecream mix.
While colleagues rushed to help Mr Fizer, a drive-through attendant unknowingly served his finger to Mr Stowers.
At first, Mr Stowers failed to notice anything unusual about his custard.
"I thought it was candy because they put candy in your ice cream or whatever to make it a treat," he told a Wilmington television station.
"So I proceeded to put the object in my mouth, got all the ice cream off of it and spit it into my hand."
When he realised what he had been munching on, Mr Stowers "just started screaming".
He has now hired a lawyer and refuses to return the severed finger, which he regards as evidence in a possible legal action against the shop.

Typical greedy litigious behaviour, if I was the bloke who lost my finger I'd be suing this monkey, surely this is theft?
No, I guess it was included in the food(?) he paid for.
Th emind boggles! Presumably the employee was aware his finger had been severed, so why did a colleague continue to serve the product? Was he so brain dead that he didn't notice a guy running round screaming and spouting blood?
My guess is the comany will be sued by both parties, and the gut who served up the finger won't be employee of the month for a while!
