TGIS: Thank God It's Schadenfreude! (282)

This week's joy in the misfortune of others comes courtesy of the Associated Press (from Friday, August 12; link good at time of posting):

Chef Christopher Turla earned his Davenport, Iowa restaurant a $335 ticket Wednesday after health inspectors saw a video of him kissing and licking toads in the kitchen.

The video shows the chef with two small toads on a kitchen prep table at the restaurant Osaka. He kisses the toads a few times, licks them, then stuffs them in his mouth.

Turla says it was just a joke. But the Scott County Health Department isn't laughing.

....

Restaurant owner Yidi When says he'll pay the ticket. He also says Turla is just a funny guy who needs some more training about restaurant sanitation.
