I thought that was hilarious as well.  `Here's the proof!  Granny's
ambulance-chaser in a fit of self-justification!  QED.'  Such "proofs"
are offered almost daily by that Simpson scum's shyster team, and for
the same reason. 

Oh, did McDonald's brew their coffee too hot?  Horrors!  Don't
they realize old fools will be trying to ride their coffee cups
in moving vehicles?  What're they thinking of?

Meanwhile, we live in a nation of wounded birds, where skulking
shysters seek out venal victims willing to hold anyone with deep
pockets to account for their getting out of bed in the morning.
The land of grievance groupies, where any act or ommission, which
means any second of any day, you may be held liable for the suffering
of a bleating heart somewhere, somehow.

Thanks for demonstrating the need for caution along these wires.
The only cure is to insist on a membership consisting solely of
responsible adults.  If there be enough of them left to form a
quorum.

My goodness, what's this tingling in my hands?  Why, I do believe
I may have repetitive stress syndrome!  Hooray!  Now who is it made
this keyboard...

Is there a lawyer in the house?
