[sdiy] Plugging anything into anything

[Brousseau, Paul E (Paul)]

Urgh.  Instead of awarding $1.75mil, etc., I would have "awarded" him a new job (plus pay raise!) as a crash test dummy.  I would have THEN given the $1.75mil to all the other drivers on the freeway who were doubtlessly injured.

Well, OK, not really about the crash test dummy part, but anyway...

Mr Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City. In November 2000
Mr Grazinski purchased a brand new 32 foot Winnebago motor home.
On his first trip home, having joined the freeway, he set the cruise
control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back and
make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly the Winnie left the
freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr Grazinski sued Winnebago for not
advising him in the handbook that he couldn't actually do this. He was
awarded $1,750,000 plus a new Winnie. (Winniebago actually changed
their handbooks on the back of this court case, just in case there are any
other complete morons buying their vehicles
