The $67 Million Pants
A U.S. Judge is suing a dry-cleaner for $67 million for a lost pair of pants...

ABC News: $67 Million Lawsuit: Lawyer Sues Dry Cleaners for Lost Trousers

Sad to see a JUDGE making such a mockery of the Judicial System...

WTF? Insanity at its best.

It seems ridiculous that this is allowed to proceed through the court system.

It's because American citizens have become sue-happy...The courts are tied up by so many frivolous lawsuits, that that's the reason for the court lag time in any serious cases being heard and ruled on in a timely manner.
