A New Jersey appellate court says a man cannot seek damages for burns he suffered while bowing his head in prayer over a sizzling steak fajita skillet at a Burlington County Applebee's.

What an idiot. You order a dish that arrives sizzling and you need a warning that it's hot?!

That's why I don't pray.

Besides clenzy, who head butts the table doing so?

The worst thing they tell people at Mexican restaurants is "watch out, the plate's hot." That's an invitation for the diner to touch the plate and some sort of Freudian statement about human trust.

And anyone who orders fajitas at Applebee's is already preselected for the dumb ass list.

Even as a guy who prays over his meals, I find this to be dumb. All sizzling dishes at Applebee's come in an iron skillet sitting in a wooden table protector and having a heat cushion on the handle. What's so hard about pushing the plate away while you pray and then pulling it back when you're done?

Ok I was wondering why this was different than the lady who got burned by her hot coffee and I think I see. Not that I don't think you should realize that when you buy hot coffee it's hot. But it's in a cup and it doesn't sizzle and all so if you were enough of an idiot not to already know that hot coffee is hot you couldn't tell just by looking at it or it making sounds suggesting so.

No. Anyone that orders coffee knows they are ordering a hot drink.

Unless you're a dandy that orders Iced Lattes.

Or if the coffee is kept well over industry standard even after repeated warnings it was being kept too hot
