Have a feeling that those lawyers might not be in a very good position
on judgement day.

My dau-in-law got on the road about 3:30AM to hit one of those
sales. Hit a deer, killed the deer, and her vehicle, about half a mile
from the subdivision. She wasn't hurt, but maybe lucky she didn't make
it to the sale.

serious professional soldiers think a lot more about food and a warm

Hey, here's a novel thought, why not charge those who trod on her with
assault?
Can't a grown adult figure out it might be dangerous to run with a crowd, or
even stand in front of a crowd about to run? At the start of a fun run, if
someone trips over and gets trampled, do we sue the organisers, the city or
the slippery shoe manufacturer.
Sometimes in life, you take your chances and blame yourself.

There we come. That will provide job for all lawyers till the judgment
day. I can't wait to hear their arguments.

How about those big-hearts at Wal-mart -- offering to put a DVD player
on hold for her? The woman was knocked down, trampled, suffered a
seizure and is hospitalized -- and Walmart's PR type says: "Gee, we'd
hate to lose her as a customer."
How about facing her as a defendant?

Might could happen, I'd guess. I had to slip into Walmart on Friday a.m.--broke
my glasses the day before, and I wear the +1 cheapos--so I did my usual,
rolling out of the house in time to get there at about 4:45. Looked suspicious
right from the start, with far more vehicles in the lot than is normal at that
time.
I had a couple small things to get...Tylenol, etc....but took one look at the
stacks of super cheap TV sets and other stuff, did a fast shuffle into the
glasses stand, grabbed a pair and skittered.
I mean, dozens of people standing next to huge stacks of big cartons holding
idjit boxes is something I don't want to be around when the horn blows, the
bell rings or whatever. I go early when I go to beat the crowds. When the crowd
is there first, I'm leaving ASAP.

Yeah, sue that Pilate dude. The guys who put the X in Xmas.
No, wait; he was responsible for the Easter Bunny, wasn't he?
So sue that hispanic-named guy, the three ad men, and that
d*mned star who led 'em there. Untold numbers of people were
awakened by that glaring thing that night.
There oughta be a law...
