I’m currently in the Alachua Library<\/a>, taking a study break, and I thought that I’d pose this question to my adoring fans (the three of you know who you are).<\/p>\n

So I was eating lunch\/dinner at Subway in Alachua this afternoon, and I made a peculiar discovery. I got a straw to go with the drink that I purchased, and as I opened it I noticed that one of the ends of the straw was sealed closed. Now, I’m not sure if this has happened to anyone else before, but it was a first-time experience for me. I started laughing at the thought of putting the sealed end in my drink, then inhaling until my face turned red, without any liquid refreshment for all my efforts.<\/p>\n

Then, my mind really took a left turn. What if<\/i>, I wondered (I always wonder in italics), someone got one of these straws and couldn’t drink their drink, and in sheer anger, sued Subway?<\/i> They could claim undue shame and embarrassment over not being able to use a straw (maybe the employees laughed at them or something), though it was obviously the company’s fault for not checking their product to ensure that it met with proper drinking-straw standards. Who knows? In this lawsuit-crazy country, someone might try it.<\/p>\n

Okay, so it was really a random thought. But I’m famous for random thoughts! Anyway, it brought to mind an idea for a little contest for all of you loyal pressing on… fans out there. What’s the craziest idea that you can come up with for a lawsuit that just might<\/em> have a chance in court? Something that’s even worse than Ms. I-Don’t-Know-That-McDonald’s-Coffee-Is-Served-Hot, or my Subway example, etc. I know there’s some twisted minds out there in cyberspace who are reading this.
