Sorry Jack but I have to speak up about the McD's comment especially   since
I see it referenced frequently in discussions about excessive litigation.

This story reminds me of the one that Reagan used to tell about the
driver who sued the manufacturer of his vehicle -- and won -- because
a horse fell through the roof. This was supposed to be an example of
ridiculous litigation. However, the suit was not about the horse but
about the roof of the vehicle, which was supposed to be strong enough
to survive a rollover, let alone a falling horse.

Sometimes ridiculous stories look a lot less ridiculous when all the
facts are known.
