1. What a collossal asshole

[Zookeeper]

2. I wonder if he would expect to get sued if he accidently...

bumped into someone?

I suspect not.

[DFW]

3. And he's suing for payment for treatment provided by his wife!!!

If he visits the DC area, I know a Korean tailor he could sue if he gets bored.....

4. Well, that raises the "You kids, get off the lawn!" bar by a factor

What a jerk.

5. check out where the grouchy jerk works:

Pfahler's Denver attorney, Jim Chalat, declined to comment on specifics but says Pfahler, who works for Reader's Digest, wants to go back to work.

now there's something for the 'That's Outrageous' section next month!

7. I was thinking the same thing!

[Deja Q]

6. When in Rome, do as the Romans do...

Hey, at least it wasn't a NAMBLA convention...

:hide:

[EstimatedProphet]

10. Where did that come from?

:wtf:

[DS1]

11. That's a good question

downhill and skiing leads to underage buttsex. That's a new one to me.

[GirlinContempt]

14. I will add some ????'s to this plea

[MonkeyFunk]

12. Good lord

how does your mind even make that leap?

[eyesroll]

8. Hm...voluntarily assuming the risk of skiing + child defendant = this suit's going nowhere.

Was the 7-year-old acting as a reasonable 7-year-old would in that situation (even if the behavior would be negligent in an adult)? That's a defense to an injury suit.

Plus, when you ski, you voluntarily accept the risk of skiing. Crashing into another skier is an obvious risk.

The Plaintiff is a whiny...well, you know...

/torts TA last semester

9. HE. IS. A. CHILD.

And the boy's not very old, either... :evilgrin:

[GirlinContempt]

13. Scott said he was sorry and started to ski away when Pfahler grabbed Scott’s legs, cursed at him and

said he would sue him, Robb Swimm said.

“I was really scared,” Scott said.
