In a recent episode of the reality series Keeping Up The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian shares a pretty ridiculous story about her husband Kanye West and his trip to jail a few years ago. Back in 2008, the "Bound 2" rapper spent a day in jail after destroying a paparazzo's camera, but when he was given his customary phone call, he apparently used it not to call his lawyer, but to order take-out from a Beverly Hills Chinese restaurant called Mr. Chows. The story ends before we find out if Mr. Chows actually ended up delivering to West's jail cell, but I'm just going to go ahead and assume that yes, they did, because that's a hilarious image to me.

For all of us non-L.A. folks, Fact Magazine points out that Mr. Chows is a particularly upscale restaurant (it is located in Beverly Hills, after all, and Kim Kardashian is familiar with it), which makes the whole story even funnier and more ridiculous. Though this sounds like the sort of story that most guys would make up about themselves in order to impress people, it's just the sort of cartoonishly arrogant stunt that we've come to expect and accept from West.

Consequence of Sound points out a lyric from West's most recent album Yeezus that hints towards his affinity for Chinese food, but since the lyric is too filthy to post here, I'll just post a Youtube video for the actual song instead:
