Hey Ya'll, Read This, It Might Be Good For A Laugh !

Hey ya'll, read this, it might be good for a laugh. This is based on a June 30 th article in the Orlando Sentinel, titled : You Be The Judge

The names and location  have been changed since I haven't acquired permission to copy the article. However this will not alter the situation or events.

Ernest and Mary had mechanical problems with their Chevy and upon arriving in Reno, Nevada drove straight to a garage. Joe, the mechanic on duty, stood in front of the car and started the engine by short circuiting the electrical current to the starter. The car which was in gear, lurched forward, breaking one of Joe's ( or was that Jerk's  ? ) legs.

Joe's lawyer filed suit against Ernest and Mary and their insurance company, alleging that  THEY were negligent in failing  to warn Joe ( or was that Jerk ? ) that the repair that he had attempted was " A PERIL TO HIS SAFTEY " !

The article then posed the question : If you were the judge, would you order the couple and their insurance company to compensate Joe ( or was that Jerk ? ) for his grevious injury ?

Times like this kinda make me wish I were a Judge. I'd tell Jerk and Scumbag ( the lawyer ) to get the " F" out of my courtroom !

Now you know my opinion,. What's yours ?

My opinion as well Meb. Whats with people not taking responsibility for their own stupid actions. And the Judges making it easy for the jerks to sue and get compensated for being stupid jerk..A mechanic should know better..
BTW, Hello!!

Hey pattiep ! Correct you are, Jerk should also have some personal insurance as well. Of course there is the high possibility that a large volume of previous claims have since made that unafordable. But then who's fault would that be ? LOL Good to hear from you girl !

Sory, Meb, haven't been posting here much lately since the BLOCKADE! I hate having to wait to see who wrote what and when. If this Jerk were any kind of a mechanic, he (a) would have checked the key to see if it was in on position (b) checked the emergency brake to make sure it was engaged and (c) made sure the car was in neutral (manual shift) or park (automatic)... I am assuming he did none of these, since he basically hotwired the car under the hood. DUH!

No problem GG. Having grow up under a hood as a teen, I know that was just plain stupid. It bothered me in that a lawyer could still file a frivilous casae though ! The world's full of idiots and imbeciles, no one else should be liable for their thoughtless actions !
