Seattle has long been one of my favorite cities. Now there is yet another reason to like this fine town, the obviously splendid ‘5 Spot’ restaurant, home of a new dessert known as ‘the Bulge’. It’s a banana, battered, rolled in sugar, deep fried, served with ice cream, whipped cream, and macadamia nuts. Hungry now? There’s a catch. Before diners can tuck into this treat, they are required to sign a waiver form which reads as follows:

http://www.chowfoods.com/

“I, ___________________, release 5 Spot from all liability of any weight gain that may result from ordering and devouring this sinfully fattening treat. I will not impose any sort of “Obesity-Related” lawsuit against 5 Spot or consider any similar type of frivolous legislation created by a hungry trial lawyer.

5 Spot will not be held liable in any way if the result of my eating this dessert leads to a “Spare Tire”, “Love Handles”, “Saddle Bags”, or “Junk in my Trunk”. If I have to go to “Fat Camp” at some time in my life, I will not mail my bill to 5 Spot.

I knowingly and willingly accept full and personal responsibility for my choices and actions.”

According to 5 Spot’s co-owner, Jeremy Hardy this waiver was created to “make a statement about frivolous lawsuits and accountability.”

It does.

Bravo.
