I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I don't know the exact details, and can't be arsed looking for them:

But there was the case where an old retired judge sued a Korean Laundry place for burning his suit pants for a bajillion dollars in damages. His argument was they had a sign that said "satisfaction guaranteed", and that he wasn't satisfied.

The case went to court and went through several appeal processes, (I think), with the judges knowing that it was spurious, but having to follow the exact letter of the law and every bullshit little procedure because the plaintiff was a retired judge that knew the law.

He brought in several nonsensical witnesses, including if I remember rightly, an old woman who had nothing to do with the incident but instead just complained about the holocaust.

The family that ran the laundry was nearly bankrupted by all the legal fees, and court costs etc, and had to rely on donations to even eat and pay rent.

I dunno how it ended.

He sued Warsaw Pact, NSDAP, Plato and Christopher Reeve's widow :wtc:

e: Jesus Christ this keeps going.



I'm more concerned that he chose to sue Weird Al Yankovic.

The man is clearly a monster.
