The $54 million Pants Suit

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Administrative law judge Roy Pearsonhas filed a $54 million law suit against a Washington, D.C. cleaner who lost his pants.

He claims that he’s acting in the interest of all city residents against poor business practices. Give me a break. He’s acting in the interest of his own financial security and nothing else.

The man wants $2 million in damages for himself — for his mental anguish and inconvenience — plus $500,000 in attorney’s fees for representing himself.

Did you catch that? He’s representing himself and wants half a million dollars for attorney fees… and I’m not even going to go into what I think about someone who is so attached to a pair of pants that they experience two million dollars worth of “mental anguish” when they’re misplaced and then returned to him!!!
