Those are classic.

It is truly amazing what they have to put on packages any more. Did you hear about this one? A guy tried to trim his hedges with his lawnmower (hello...isn't that what hedgetrimmers are for??) and got injured when the branches kicked back at him (duh!). He sued the company and won because it didn't say in the instructions NOT to trim your hedges with the lawnmower. Amazing how the dumber you are, the more money you can get if you sue!

Did you hear about the 8 year old who drove a stolen car to school? He said his uncle had been giving him lessons in the car and he didn't know the car was stolen. He was suspended from school and the really scary part is he drove a mile and a half and could barely see over the dashboard. He is very lucky no one was hurt.

LOL Just like the woman who sued McDonalds because she spilled her coffee on herself and the cup didn't have a caution on it. I think she won too.

BadHabit, you are correct. She won 2.9 million because SHE spilled coffee in her lap. Another woman won several million from Ruger Firearms because her dumb ass husband shot himself with one of their shotguns. He was duck hunting and winged one. It wasn't dead so instead of using the boat paddle to finish it off, he turned his $1200 shotgun around and used it as a club. He hit the side of the boat with the trigger guard and it went off and shot him in the stomach. I don't understand how this was Ruger's fault.
