Judge doesn't see humor in Cheba Hut shop

[JonLP24]

GREELEY, Colo., April 28 (UPI) -- A Colorado judge says he won't give a liquor license to the Cheba Hut sub shop, saying he doesn't like the use of marijuana humor in its marketing.

Despite no opposition from neighbors and no record of police problems at its location near the University of Northern Colorado campus in Greeley, Judge Robert Frick, the city's lone liquor-license authority, denied owner Scott Jennings a license, The Denver Post reported Tuesday.

"This restaurant is founded upon the principles and theme of the illegal drug marijuana and incorporates other illegal controlled-substance-related themes," Frick said in his ruling, perhaps referring to Cheba Hut's motto, "Welcome to Cheba Hut. The only thing fried is the occasional customer," or its sub menu, which includes such sandwiches as "Magic Mushroom," "Thai Stick" and "Herb."

"It was a completely bogus decision," Jennings told the newspaper, which reported he has gone to District Court to get Frick's decision overturned on free speech grounds.

5. I have an uncle, aunt, cousins that live out there

My brother, niece, dad, aunt, uncle, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, cousins that live in Loveland. Also have family between Loveland and Ft Collins near Budweiser. Never ate the food but heard good things about it. On that note the ruling doesn't suprise me either.

9. That's where I was born - Poudre Valley Hospital

I did have the option to move to Loveland 5 years ago like my brother to live with dad but I flat out refused because of the politics and I prefer big cities as well. I'm suprised Musgrave is no longer the rep though.

6. They just need to add a few items to the menu to get approval...

"The Jesus Burger"

"Virgin Mary Wrap"

"Abortion Kills Soup"

Stuff like that should change the judge's mind.
