your patronage is appreciated..............NOT
your patronage is appreciated..............NOT while it's never a good thing to think on a weekend, i got all tangled up in this story of the idiotic judge who is suing for 45 (or is it 54?) million dollars because a dry cleaner lost his pants. they found them but now he's continuing with the suit because it said "satisfaction guaranteed" and he wasn't satisfied. on PBS, a guy said he was thinking of suing his cleaners now too because their sign said they appreciated his business. but he was never sure they did....they just took his money and handed him his pants.....well, at least he got his pants. now, there's a whole lot wrong in this world of ours....people living without health care, without housing, going hungry, losing a job, war, famine, genocide, racism, misogyny. somehow, losing your pants does not make the big screen for me.....wtf? and 54 million? i swear the man was weeping uncontrollably in court. and he's a judge. jesus......i guess the only good thing would be to get him in a personal injury case....snork. imagine your settlement... so, is it that we are incredibly litigious as a country......or just flat out nuts? have you ever sued anyone? my parents sued an amusement park when i was about 5 years old and was bitten by one of the monkeys. they had to watch it for 3 months to see if it developed rabies because they didn't want to have ot give me the treatment at such a young age. we got medical bills paid for and 100.00 and a free pass to the park.........not 54 million dollars...but then i still Had my pants.....snork anyhoooooooooooo....have a good weekend... You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

I wish I could sue Dell for losing my laptop, but I recognize that I'm complicit in the stupidity. Plus, I actually think it's good to start fresh with a writing project. It just bugs me to have lost all the perfect data on how many guys I met versus how many I fucked. Anyway, no, I've never sued anyone. When my husband and I quit our business in a huge, public dispute with our landlords, we realized that the court battle wouldn't do anyone any good and would tie all of our lives up in negativity of "get them for wronging us" for years. So, we met with a mediator, gave the landlords a thousand bucks (because they were stupid enough to get tied up in bitterness because they didn't "win") and got on with our lives. One of the terrible things of our culture is people not taking responsibility for their own dumb choices. Why, oh, why did I send my computer before backing up? Why, oh, why did I think it would come back to me in a healthier state than before? Oh, well. Let's kill the attorneys who feed this greed of "You've been wronged. Let's get justice!" and the world will be a nicer place. On a more serious note, why aren't European countries as litigious as ours?

Hey, I just realized the advantage of losing my laptop! When I'm on "Oprah" to talk about my totally-factual memoir and she tries to rip me open as she did "A Million Little Pieces"'s Jim Frey, I can just point the finger at Dell. "They did it! They lost my laptop with my data. Fuck the Dell Fuckers!" That way, I can work distraction as Bush does with WMD. Clever, huh?

Did someone say our courts were bogged down and people waiting trial may have to be released and charges dropped due to the length of time waiting for their day in court.? funny a pair of pants to cover a ass seems a waste of time , to me anyway. want a fun day ? spend some time in a court room - unbelievable stupidity

Long ago I manahede a movie theater. A lawyer took his family to a movie and sat in gum some jerk had left on the seat. He came out all pissed off- I immediatly offered him his money back, told him to get the pants cleaned and we'd pay the bill, and offered free passes to another movie in the future. Nope, he sued the company for a few hundred for "ruining his family outing." They paid. They said it was easier than dealing with a lawyer who had too much free time. All I really wanted to do was shake him and say "look before you sit down ^$^$*#&!"

It don't surprise me the world's so fucked up! That judge should be disbarred and removed from the bench. Then he should be taken out back of the woodshed and have his ass blistered with a hefty willow switch. That should give him pause regarding a lousy pair of pants. $54MM... He'd be damned happy with that ass-whoopin'... 'cause if he appeared in MY court, with that kind of case? I'd award that $54MM to the defendant... then have him shot, so I wouldn't be associated by default with that freakin' clown! Solar...

Ah...WE, this story shouldn't have smoke coming out....It's one of those ridiculous things the press picks up on to talk about instead of anything important....but, then that's just my opinion.... And, it's hard to take Wait, Wait don't tell me seriously.....I think it was Tom Bodet who was talking about not being satisfied with his pants....but, then what is Tom satisfied with....Ya know, he is the pitch man for Motel 6....but, he's still pretty darned funny. Oh, and wait, wait has been playing with this story for the last three or four weeks....they don't seem to get enough of it.

Yes we are WAY too litigious. I have never sued anyone...although I kinda wish I would have sued my HMO when they misdiagnosed a blood clot in my leg and it therefore went untreated for a month...not for the money but so they would have realized that the way they were operating was completely messed up.
