A Heart Attack That Couldn’t Wait

Have you ever read a story that was funny for all the wrong reasons? Yesterday my sister read me a hilarious story about a guy having a heart attack while eating a Triple Bypass Burger at the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas. The restaurant’s slogan is “A taste worth dying for.” The person who wrote the story made several jokes. One of the jokes was that the restaurant can’t be sued because the name said it all. When my sister read that, I knew it was safe to laugh with wild abandon because the victim must have survived. The waitresses at the restaurant are called “Nurses” and customers wear hospital gowns. The kicker was when the story explained that the guy started sweating profusely and having trouble breathing, but many of the customers thought it was an elaborate advertising scheme so they were taking pictures. That part was too much.

Obviously one Triple Bypass Burger didn’t cause the guy to have a heart attack, but his choice of restaurants makes this a story worth repeating.

Status: Still smiling at the irony a day later.
