Bingo! Give that man a cigar! As "sue-happy" as a lot of Americans have
become, it is best to use the original part when it comes to something
like this. When you turn on a tv and there is a lawyer saying "Has
anyone looked at you cross-eyed in the last 3 months? We'll sue on a
percentage basis", Ed is VERY correct in saying that a lawyer would drag
you through the coals on that.
