Title: Dry Cleaner Wins in Missing-Pants Case
Post by: Shuckins on June 27, 2007, 06:53:15 AM
A Disctrict of Columbia Superior Court judge has ruled that the Korean immigrant owners of Custom Cleaners did not violate the city's Consumer Protection Act by failing to live up to the plaintiff's expectations of their "Satisfaction Guaranteed" sign that had once been displayed in their store window.

The plaintiff, Roy L. Pearson, Jr., an administrative law judge, had originally sought $67 million from the defendants after they lost a pair of suit trousers and tried to return a pair that were not his.

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC LYRICS

"I'll Sue Ya"

I sued Taco Bell
'Cause I ate half a million Chalupas
And I got fat!

I sued Panasonic
They never said I shouldn't use their microwave
To dry off my cat

Huh, I sued Earthlink
'Cause I called them up
N' they had the nerve to put me on hold

I sued Starbucks
'Cause I spilled a Frappucino in my lap
And brrr, it was cold!

I sued Toys'R'Us
'Cause I swallowed a Nerf ball
And nearly choked to death

Ugh, I sued PetCo
'Cause I ate a bag of kitty litter
And now I got bad breath!

I sued Coca-Cola, yo
'Cause I put my finger down in a bottle
And it got stuck!

I sued Delta Airlines
'Cause they sold me a ticket to New Jersey
I went there, and it sucked!

Yeah!!!

If you stand me up on a date
If you deliver my pizza 30 seconds late

I'm gonna sue, sue
Yes, I'm gonna sue
Sue, sue, yeah that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna sue, sue
Yes, I'm gonna sue
Sue, sue, yeah I might even sue you!

Ugh!!

I sued Duracell
They never told me not to shove that double-A
Right up my nose

I sued Home Depot
'Cause they sold me a hammer
Which they knew I might drop on my toes

I sued Dell Computers
'Cause I took a bath with my laptop
Now it doesn't work

I sued Fruit of the Loom
'Cause when I wear their tightie-whities on my head
I look like a jerk

I sued Verizon
'Cause I get all depressed
Any time my cell phone is roaming

I sued Colorado
'Cause you know, I think it looks a little bit too much
Like Wyoming

I sued Neiman Marcus
'Cause they put up their Christmas decorations
Way out of season

I sued Ben Affleck




...




Aw, do I even need a reason?


Ugh!

If I sprain my ankle
While I'm robbing your place

If I hurt my knuckles
When I punch you in the face

I'm gonna sue, sue
Yes, I'm gonna sue
Sue, sue, yeah that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna sue, sue
Yes, I'm gonna sue
Sue, sue, that's right I'm gonna sue you

Ugh!
Ugh!
Ugh!

I'll sue ya!
If you even look at me funny

I'll sue ya!
I'll take all of your money
I'll sue ya!

Thank God.

Finally at least one court in the land that makes a decision that makes sense.

It should never have come this far

And the icing on the cake

"Bartnoff ordered Pearson to pay the court costs of defendants Soo Chung, Jin Nam Chung and Ki Y. Chung"



Thats gotta cost a pretty penny too

A great example of a lawyer he set there. AFAIC he should be disbarred from further practice as he obviously has no sense, no simple decency and is obviously willing to prostitute the court system for his own simple greed.

Now look, if that's a JUDGE bringing up such a stupid case, just imagine with other absurd cases are on the schedule.

Support tort reform.  

WHile you're at it, urge your senator/congressman to eliminate earmarks too.

I said it the first time I saw this case.. That judge should be dis barred if he hasn't been already. How can any decision he's ever made or will make in a court of law be held with a grain of salt after this kind of BS.
