My sides are hurting from laughing so hard...

I can't decide what's funnier - the food that was served, the description of it, or that someone complained about it.

The potato masher had obviously broken and so it was decided the next best thing would be to pass the potatoes through the digestive tract of a bird.

Did you read the footnote? Seems that Branson personally handled it, if true that is such a good study in how to handle complaints.

He had to have pissed himself laughing, even if it is his company, obviously it made an impression. Very cool on his part though.

It sounds like the response was just "Sorry you didn't like the food," though.

I tried to seed this too - this was hysterical - loved it - (in fact, it made me spit tea over my computer screen at work)
