    Congressman sues over olive pit

    Poor guy.

    -

    WASHINGTON ? Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio is suing a congressional cafeteria for dental damage he says he suffered after biting into an olive pit in a sandwich wrap he bought there.

    Kucinich's attorney, Andrew Young, declined to comment Wednesday on the lawsuit seeking $150,000 in damages from companies involved with the Longworth House Office Building cafeteria. A spokesman in Kucinich's congressional office also declined to comment.

    The civil suit filed earlier this month in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia said the wrap "contained dangerous substances, namely an olive pit," that a consumer would not reasonably expect to find in the product served. The suit said that Kucinich suffered "serious and permanent" dental and oral injuries requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures.

    Kucinich's lawsuit said the Ohio Democrat bought the sandwich on or about April 17, 2008. He is seeking damages for "past and future medical and dental expenses, compensation for pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment and other damages."

    The liberal congressman made an unsuccessful bid for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

    Two of the companies named in the suit, Compass Group USA Inc. and Performance Food Group Co., declined comment through spokespersons.

          And guys like this are running the USA? That's reassuring.

          Reminds me of the lady who sued McDonalds because she spilled coffee in her lap, and McDonalds didn't tell her it was hot.

                  That's a bad example when one reads the details of the incident. Injury to her genital area was very severe. McDonald's was, reportedly, aware their coffee serving temperature was far hotter than what was customary for other drive-through establishments.

                  A better example of frivolous lawsuits is the lawyer who sued the dry cleaners for millions for messing up his dry cleaning.

                      And he's ran for president too if I'm not mistaken.

                                      Nope, I'd actually say it's a pretty good example. If you drive around with a freshly brewed cup of coffee sitting in your crotch, you can't exactly get pissed off at other people when you burn yourself.

                                                  "injuries requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures" is more than reason enough to sue.

                                                  Especially anything dental, that shit is painful as fuck.

                                                      That would actually be a great law, eh? If you're an elected official, every time you're caught lieing, it's a $10,000 fine! US would be debt free within 5 years probably.

                                                                                                  we all heard this story on the radio and television and news:

                                                                                                  'Everybody “knows” the story: A lady bought coffee at a McDonald’s drive-through, spilled it on herself, and suffered minor burns. She sued McDonald’s, and with the help of a clever attorney, managed to convince a jury that it was all McDonalds’ fault for not providing adequate warning that hot coffee is indeed hot, and can scald you. The lady walked away with a multi-million dollar award.'

                                                                                                  but in reality, the 'benefit' she got was 3rd degree burns to 16% of her body, requiring hospitalization for 8 days and sworn statements before God that the doctor had never, ever seen scalding so bad

                                                                                                  apparently 700 other people had the same problem, with others also suffering from 3rd degree burns

                                                                                                  http://www.slip-and-sue.com/the-famo...uit-revisited/

Biting into an olive 'not expecting a seed' is beyond retarded. The fact it needed 'multiple surgeries' sounds like he's bitten into a few different things
