$65 Million Pants
May. 3rd, 2007 12:12 pmThis ranks as one of the more idiotic lawsuits......
Strange case of the $65 million pair of pants
"WHEN THE neighborhood dry cleaner misplaced Roy Pearson's pants, he took action. He complained. He demanded compensation. And then he sued. Man, did he sue.
Two years, thousands of pages of legal documents and many hundreds of hours of investigative work later, Pearson is seeking to make Custom Cleaners pay -- would you believe more than the payroll of the entire Washington Nationals roster?
He says he deserves millions for the damages he suffered by not getting his pants back, for his litigation costs, for "mental suffering, inconvenience and discomfort," for the value of the time he has spent on the lawsuit, for leasing a car every weekend for 10 years and for a replacement suit, according to court papers.
Pearson is demanding $65,462,500. The original alteration work on the pants cost $10.50.
By the way, Pearson is a lawyer. OK, you probably figured that. But get this: He's a judge, too -- an administrative law judge for the District of Columbia. "

That's a hell of a commute......
May. 3rd, 2007 06:44 pmSeen today in Los Angeles' Union Station.
A Seattle / Puget Sound "Sounder" commuter train.
Dang, that's a long commute....... (and yes, I know it may have been there to borrow or drop off some cars, since MetroLink uses the same cars)
