Saw this one. Thought it was funny

Its time again for the annual 'Stella Idiot Awards'!

For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after
81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and
successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico , where she purchased
coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it
between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one
could get burned doing that, right?

That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and
verdicts in the U.S You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch
your head. So keep your head scratcher handy.Here are the Stella
Idiots:

* SEVENTH PLACE * Kathleen Robertson of Austin , Texas , was awarded
$80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over
a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners
were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running
toddler was her own Start scratching!

* SIXTH PLACE * Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles , California won
$74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with
a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at
the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's
hubcaps. Scratch some more...

* FIFTH PLACE *Terrence Dickson, of Bristol , Pennsylvania , was leaving
a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately
for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he
could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the
house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when
Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT days
and survive on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he
sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental anguish.
Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson
$500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish.
Keep scratching. There are more... Double hand scratching after this
ne...

* FOURTH PLACE *Jerry Williams, of Little Rock , Arkansas , garnered 4th
Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical
expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's
beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced
yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury
believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt
bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and
repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun. Pick a new spot to scratch;
you're getting a bald spot...

*THIRD PLACE *Amber Carson of Lancaster , Pennsylvania , because a jury
ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she
slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the
soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend
30 seconds earlier during an argument. What ever happened to people
being responsible for their own actions? Only two more so ease up on
the scratching...

*SECOND PLACE*Kara Walton, of Claymont , Delaware , sued the owner of a
night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window
to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton
was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the
$3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her
$12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure. Ok. Here we go!!

* FIRST PLACE *This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner
was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City , Oklahoma , who purchased a
new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU
football game, having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise
control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back
of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the
motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not
surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the
owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat
while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are
you sitting down? $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually
changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs.
Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.

My wife found this one recently, hope it hasn't already been posted.

Reminds of a Nova SS that languished in the town I grew up in. I inquired about buying it once, only to be told the owner was "gonna restore it someday." In 20 years, the only change I ever observed was removal of the rear end. I guess he eventually sold it after all or.moved it out of view.

At least those are easy to work on, unlike modern high-tech computerized vehicles that practically require a PhD in computer programming, electrical & mechanical engineering. That's why those little British sports cars were favorites among high-schoolers in auto shop classes and backyard "shade tree" mechanics. One of my earliest summer jobs when I was still in High School myself in Upstate NY was to simply drive all around the countryside looking in fields and behind old barns for MGs, Triumphs, Jaguars, Austins, etc., to purchase for the British Auto salvage yard I worked for. Surprising how many I found and bought from old farmers who's sons had abandoned them once they grew up and moved out of the family homestead. They were usually so eager to get rid of them that many were willing to pay ME to haul them away and surprised when I offered to pay THEM and haul them away! Good times.

This is supposed to be a family - friendly type site . . . .

I agree. And I admit I also got a bit carried away. I will definitely stop posting anything that is crude or not family oriented.

Good job Jerry
