[...] After all, that’s what the Carl’s Jr. marketing folks did after a customer’s legally registered handgun accidentally discharged and destroyed their restroom’s toilet in a Utah local Carl’s Jr. (Read CARL’S JR.: Toilet Killed in Shooting, Memorial Service Set) [...]

Seems like a bit of a stretch to create a gag out of this situation… seeing as though some idiot really did drop a gun which discharged and could have killed himself, a kid or someone else.

Jeez… Perhaps Carl’s Jr. can present him with a gift certificate for a gun safety course so he can learn where the SAFETY is located before he blows his wee-wee off ( I will NOT attend that service).

I guess “bathroom humor” pays off if it brings more customers into eat and see the famous “john.”

I remember many years ago when a local retailer of women’s clothes had a sale ad in the newspapers for “pants suits” but, unfortunately, or fortunately, whatever, the “u” in the suits was mistyped as an “h” —-

T’was a fun day as I remember and business really picked up for a few days. S…t happens!

Poor John… he looked so flush! I’m sure he hated to leave your customers behind…

Thanks for the post Sean! “John” will be missed. We should give him a 21 bun salute at the memorial service.
