Expensive Pants now worth Nothing....

Well there may be hope for the world after all. I'm not sure if you've heard of this present ridiculousness going on in Washington DC (besides the present Administration), but it seems an egotistical Attorney is suing an Dry Cleaners for 54 Million dollars over the loss of a pair of pants. Apparently he took this pair of pants in to be altered, and when he went to pick them up they allegedley weren't the pair of pants he dropped off in the first place. The owner, after much go around with this jerk of an attorney (oh sorry, that's an oxy-moron should have just said attorney...the jerk is implied) offered to buy him a new pair of pants. The guy wasn't satisfied and said that the cleaner boasted of "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and said he wasn't satisfied with that and the cleaner was going to pay. Well of course it made the news, and it had the opposite effect I'm sure the attorney was hoping for; it made the cleaners more popular. Celebrities came out in support of the owner of the cleaners and the attorney cast a further dark light on the reputation of attorneys everywhere. Yesterday was the court date, and the judge told the attorney he should be ashamed of himself that frivolous lawsuits like his are ruining the system. Wow!!!! Where was this judge when the idiot lady spilled coffee in her lap???? He also is making the attorney pay the court and legal fees of the cleaners. There is some justice in the world after all.
