Tooth… why? – Absurd of the day

An Italian restaurant that sold a pizza with a human tooth baked into the crust has been fined nearly $4,000 (2,137 pounds) for a lack of hygiene.

“It's insanity,” cried defence lawyer Massimiliano Manzo, who represented the Florence pizzeria.

“How is the owner of the pizzeria going to force employees to go to the dentist every day or strap a lid over their mouths?” he told Reuters by telephone.
