Pants Suit

Dateline Washington, DC:
Judge Roy L. Pearson has taken the term "frivolous lawsuit" to new heights. The Judge is suing his dry-cleaner for $54 million dollars for loosing his pants. Judge Roy was suing for $67 million, but lowered it after public outcry over the excessive amount (I guess $54 million is not excessive).

Seems Judge Roy dropped his pants off at the cleaners to be let-out (middle-age spread will cause this), and when he came back later that day, the cleaners couldn't find them. The pants were found a couple of days later (the ticket matched the one the Judge had ... so I am assuming they were the pants), but Judge Roy said they were not his. Judge Roy says he is suing because signs in the window said "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Same Day Service" and he was not satisfied. The owners of the dry-cleaners tried to settle with him, offering him $2000.00 for his pants ... but the judge would have none of that.

The trial started yesterday ... and hopefully will end today.

Does anyone else see the ridiculousness of this entire waste of judicial time?
