614032 2007-11-22 16:27:00 I like the one about the waitress from a place called . . I think . . . "Juggs" or "Hooters" here in the us .

It hires women in skimpy outfits and had some sortta contest, the prize was a "Toyoda" for the winner .

The waitress was so dumb she never noticed the mis-spelled word and when she won, was presented with a stuffed "Yoda" doll of Star Wars fame .

She sued and won a new car because the court believed she was duped and the management should not have had that particular play on words . ( . power-of-attorneys . com/toy_yoda . htm" target="_blank">www . power-of-attorneys . com)
