The Dryer Vent Has A Duck In It!
When I saw the story of a man calling firefighters to get a duck out of his dryer vent, I thought I’d put it up here to give Brad a chuckle, and maybe Jill since she’s had to deal with fugitive snakes. It doesn’t matter how many times I read that story, I still both …
Lighten Up!
Here comes another ridiculous lawsuit. The story goes that Dominica Juliano walked into a convenience store, and the clerk thought she looked grumpy.

Yea to Good Old Uncle Tim’s
Here’s a little song celebrating the greatness of Tim Horton’s. The part about there being a Tim Horton’s on every corner made me chuckle.

A muslim woman driving a go-cart was strangled by her own burkha when part of it got caught in the wheels. This got me to thinking. The go-cart place is kind of caught between a rock and a hard place. To protect the safety of riders, they would have to mention that you shouldn’t ride …
F++ Would Sue Again
This story of a man being sued for defamation over feedback he left on eBay has me thinking about something. Has the definition of slander and libel changed and I didn’t notice? This is the story. Michael Steadman bought a clock on eBay. When the clock arrived, it was in 3 pieces which didn’t seem …
I Wouldn’t Know Where To Set Damages, But She Sure Has Been Damaged
The story of a kid suing the county for making her live with her sex-offender grandfather is beyond confusing, and makes me wonder if there will be a similar case in Australia in a few years because of those girls being made to spend weekends with their sex-offender father. Here’s what the story says happened. …
