Over Thanksgiving, five United Airlines workers had to go the hospital for nausea and vomiting after eating the company-provided turkey dinner. "There were questions about whether the turkey smelled quite right," said Don Wolfel, the president of Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association Local 4, "The popular opinion was that it didn't." [AP]

MMmmmm... Free goo......
I wish they would provide turkey dinners to their customers.
Reminds me of the SNL skit where Tom Hanks tried some milk, it's gone bad, he exclaims the milk has gone bad and tastes like crap, then everyone takes a taste "just to see".
Mommy...my turkey smells like jet fuel
I hope there was someone on hand that speaks Jive.
@DallasDMD: Sometimes that would be nice the way customers tend to treat airline employees. Othertimes, I'd like to just be given some kind of a snack on a plane without paying for it.
Also, they should give the option to the customer when purchasing the ticket. The customer could print off the coupons with his/her boarding pass and then show it to the flight attendant. This would make these types of business expenses easier to be reimbursed for while generating even more revenue for the airlines I think.
Why do people take such stupid chances with their lives by eating something that their instincts are telling them isn't right? Most likely they would just end up with a case of food poisoning, but then again they could end up with a life-threatening case of e-coli.
Wasn't that a M*A*S*H episode?
@dwayne_dibbly: Because 2,995 employees didn't get sick and the rest just "prayed to the J they got the same ol' same ol'."
Maybe the ones who ate the turkey had a cold that day...
@Me: Yes, and like two people didn't eat the bad food that Klinger got. There was also one where Charles and Margaret got sick after eating canned pheasant.
And it was a choice between turkey and the fish. I remember, because I had the lasagna.
@dwayne_dibbly: Uh sir, some of the employees who had turkey went to the hospital.
The hospital?! What is it?
It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
If the turkey didn't smell right, why did they eat it????
