See you in court!
Något som däremot är roligt med den här boken är när den ger exempel på olika amerikanska idiotriska law suits.
De älskar ju som bekant att stämma varandra i detta land och de historier ni hört förut är förmodligen sanna.
Här får ni ett smakprov från min bok:
A man from Maryland sued a marriage counselor, for 10 million dollars, alleging emotional distress because the counselor had an affair with his wife.
A man from Colorado filed claims against his parent for the sum of $350 000, charging that they gave him inhumane and inadequate care as a child, making it impossible for him to fit into society as an adult.
A black man from Nebraska, sued the makers of a Encyclopedia CD-ROM for $40 million, claiming that he and his children suffered emotional distress, when during a search, he mistakenly typed in the word nigger- instead of Niger - and the program called up several references.
A man from FLorida filed suit against a nightclub, claiming he suffered whiplash when a topless dancer knocked him out with her breasts. To compensate for pain and suffering, mental anguish and loss of capacity for enjoyment of life, he sought more than $15 000 in compensation.
A 15-year-old girl sued her prom date for standing her up. She sought compensation of $49,53 for the shoes, flowers and hairdo that went to waste.
An administrative-law judge in Washington D.C, sued a dry cleaner for $65 million for losing his pants. After two years of escalating legal costs and repeated offers to settle, the judge is still advocating for his suit over the pants.

Äntligen fick man sig ett litet skratt mitt i boken. Som tur var står det inget om att dessa knäppgökar vann sina case så det får vi hoppas att de inte gjorde. Däremot domaren kör ju på om sina byxor för 65 miljoner dollar fortfarande. Jag önskar honom lycka till.
