Woman Sues Denny's Over Toilet Burns
July 28, 2005
A Kansas woman has filed a lawsuit seeking damages for severe burns on her rear end caused by chemicals used to clean a toilet at a Denny's Restaurant.
Kathleen Williams' suit names Denny's Corp. and Jomar Investments LLC, owner of the St. Louis-area Denny's where she was injured.
Williams claims she did not see the chemicals but felt them as soon as she sat down. Pedro Irigonegaray, her lawyer, said that she had to be hospitalized immediately and suffered permanent injuries.
"Sadly, as a result of the chemical injury, nerves were injured that create a sensation of pain 24 hours a day," Irigonegaray told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
He said Williams has to take medication for pain and wear special underpants designed for burn victims.
Umm, Kathleen honey; never, never, never sit on a public toilet! Make sure your quads are strong enough for the 'hover' stance. Just a thought.

At least Denny's was making an effort to clean their toilets, which is more than a lot of places do. But what were they putting on the dang things to clean them? Jet fuel? Carbonic acid? There must be some serious bacteria being spread around the bowl there after the breakfast platters are eaten to justify such toxic stuff.

And I must say after catching up on a week's worth of blog postings, penis week was quite entertaining!

Your comment cracked me up!
