One Of LIfe's Greatest Mysteries Has Been Answered

At least twenty years ago, my younger brother and I decided that there were three great mysteries of life that would probably never be answered:

1) Why do men have nipples?
2) Why don't you ever see any baby pigeons?
3) If Denny's is "always open", why do they have locks on the doors?

That last one confuses me especially. Their sign specifically states that they are always open. They NEVER close. So, why the locks? A newspaper article I found the other day has answered this great question.

Coke User Tries To Sever Arm In Denny's

(Modesto, Calif.) Police say a man tried to cut off his arm at a restaurant because he thought he had injected air into a blood vessel while shooting cocaine and feared that he would die unless he took drastic action.

Authorities said 33-year-old Michael Lasiter rushed into a Denny's restaurant late Friday and started stabbing himself in one arm with a butter knife he had grabbed from a table.

They said that when the butter knife didn't work, Lasiter took a butcher knife from the kitchen and dug it into his arm.

Police Sgt. Brian Findlen said Lasiter told officers he thought he needed to amputate his arm to ward off dying from the cocaine injection.

Lasiter was taken to a hospital for treatment of sever cuts.

The Denny's closed for the night.
