Wendy's International Inc. doubled to $100,000 its offer for information explaining the origin of the mysterious finger a woman found in her chili last month. Sales are down at Wendy's restaurants in the San Jose, CA area where the incident took place, forcing some managers to severely cut staff.

Not to ignore any sarcastic humor, but snopes has uncovered more information about the discoverer of the thumb.

She may have been fingered as a cereal litigator, but they still haven't nailed the Wendy perp!

Didn't anyone ever tell Wendy's that chili shouldn't be eaten with the fingers? The fingers should ALWAYS be eaten separately (probably on toast points).

Reminds me, I've always found the name "chicken fingers" particularly, well, let's say 'untempting.'

Fingerprint experts have been quoted as saying they'll give it a whorl.

Detectives, on the other hand (so to speak), are discouraged as they are not getting any where near as many tips as they expected.

One, who asked not to be identified, said they are asking a group of moyels for help with gathering more tips.

Of course, modern crime detection is much better because there are more digital tools available.

"Sooner or later," said the detective, "we're gonna nail this one. Hopefully we won't have to deal with any toesed salads. Thumb thing'th gonna break."

did you ever hear about the moyel who saved all his 'tips' in a jar? when he retired, he took them to a leather tooler, and ask, "make me something"

weeks went by, months even.. finally the the leather tooler called the moyel, and said "its ready"

the leather tooler brought out a fancy box, and nestled in tissue paper was a small wallet.

the moyel looked a the wallet, and said "this? for my life's work? This-for months i have been waiting, for this?"

the leather tooler, looked a the moyel, and explained--"rub it.. it becomes a suitcase!"
