Picture it: a woman at a party in a firehouse. (My suspicions are raised already, and yours?) Takes a little party slide down the firehouse pole. (I'm assuming this is the literal pole and not, well . . . ) Ends up landing hard enough to do $7500-worth of damage to her feet and ankles. (Whew! I thought it was gonna be 3rd degree thigh-burn.)
So now she's suing the Oconee Fire Department and County Commission. That'll teach 'em to give just anybody pole-access. Read the whole story here.
As you can tell, I'm in my after-office-party-funk and capable of only the most menial of tasks. Pass the Jagermeister.
Go for it Ms. Gooch! Take these evil fire department hoodlums to cleaners!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of an experience I had last year. The picture goes all wobbly as I remember it...
I was invited to a "Throw House Bricks Into The Air As High As You Can" party, in the local, municipal car-park, by some local youths who assured me that they were members of the Chamber of Commerce.
Breaking in to the car park wasn't a problem, but after the first brick hit my knee and the second one landed on my head, injuring a couple of possibly essential parts of my brain, I knew that legal action would need to be taken.
As I languished in my hospital bed, I saw an ad on TV: "Injured? Not your fault?" Too bloody right!
As a result of my landmark action, I am now better-off to the tune of £350 and every municipal car-park in the land must display a warning sign: "Patrons must not throw bricks in the air without prior written permission of the management".
It was certainly a proud day for the legal profession. I can remember the lawyers celebrations, as they flicked their long tongues out to catch flies.
OK, PT - when I come out of my turkey/carb stupor for real, I'm going to have to post about your brick tossing incident. Hilarious! You're on your way to a Darwin Award, for sure!
