Hooters Chairman Found Dead

In lieu of flowers, mourners are asked to send donations to the Institute For Breast Enhancement Surgery For Skinny Runaways.

Robert Brooks, the chairman of Hooters of America, Inc. who made his fortune selling chicken wings served by scantily clad waitresses, was found dead at his home Sunday, officials said. He was 69.

Of course he was.

It was unclear how Brooks died, but the Horry County coroner's office told The (Myrtle Beach) Sun News that an autopsy would be performed Monday.

In related news, Hooters Inc. just announced plans to expand into the high-profit funeral-home industry. The new venture will be promoted by the ad-line, Because it's how he would have wanted it.
