WESTAMPTON, N.J. — A man who leaned over a plate of sizzling fajitas to pray can't sue a Westampton restaurant because the dish burned him, an appellate court ruled Wednesday.

Hiram Jimenez sought damages from Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar after a March 2010 incident at the chain's restaurant on Burlington-Mount Holly Road. But an appellate panel said Applebee's can't be held responsible because the hot food posed an "open and obvious" danger.
According to the ruling, Jimenez ordered fajitas that were placed in front of him in a "sizzling skillet." When he bowed his head "close to the table," the ruling says, Jimenez heard "a loud sizzling noise, followed by 'a pop noise' and then felt a burning sensation in his left eye and on his face."
In an incident report prepared for Appelebee's, Jimenez said he was burned on his face, neck and arms after "grease popped" on the fajitas.

The idiots walk among us, and they have lawyers.

Oh, FFS. People are so stupid.

[IIOY]

Perhaps this man ought to ask why God failed to explain to this man, via prayer, what that sizzling noise means.

[penguingrrl]

Is it wrong that that just made me giggle? I mean, common sense says that fajitas are sizzling hot, the plate was audibly sizzling, but he felt it was a good idea to put his fucking face on it? Really?

I think the link said that he claimed the server didn't warn him that the plate was hot.

The plate kinda comes with its own warning.

Was this his first ever fajita experience?

Chevy's will be adding "pray over at your own risk" to the fajita description on their menu.

[chedifuen]

Karma maybe?

And has he never been splattered by cooking bacon?

The overpriced guac they make at your table is also delicious. Even more so when it's paired with a margarita big enough to swim in.

I think those are safe to pray over, if you are so inclined.

[lahoagie]

Damn atheists with their sizzling fajitas - Taking the war on Christianity to the next level!

[picksthemusic]

The stupid, it hurts.

[greeneggs]

I don't blame him, I'd need a little prayer to get through a plate of anything at Applebee's.

Yea, I have walked through the valley of Riblets, I shall fear no frozen prepared meat like products.

I missed it. What's the gawker link? I will read it and laugh with you!

Okay this is funny:

God used to smite fools by sending them rains of fire, brimstone and thunder. When he really wanted to deliver a long lasting message, he would curse the receivers with plagues and mortal diseases. If anything, god's message to this idiot is "you are so insignificant that I will strike you with a sizzling fajita".
