    5.) May 2000: A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of
    Lancaster Pennsylvania $113,500.00 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink
    and broke her coccyx. The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson threw
    it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.

      6.) December 1997: Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware successfully sued the
      owner of a night club in a neighbouring city when she fell from the bathroom
      window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while
      Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the lady's room to
      avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000.00 and dental
      expenses.

        7.) And just so you know that cooler heads do occasionally prevail:

        Kenmore Inc., the makers of Dorothy Johnson's microwave, were found not
        liable for the death of Mrs. Johnson's poodle after she gave it a bath and
        attempted to dry it by putting the poor creature in her microwave for "just
        a few minutes, on low,". The case was quickly dismissed.

              Hmmm...anyway...

              A bloke goes into a watchmaker's shop.

              " I'd like a potato clock please."

              " I'm sorry sir, there's no such thing "

              " Yes, there is, really, I just need a potato clock "

              " I have been in the business 37 years and I have
              never come across any such thing. "

              " Well, I guess it's a clock made from a potato
              or something. "

              " Sorry, never heard of one. Where did you
              hear about it ? "

              " My new boss; he said I start tomorrow at
              9 O'clock, so I've got to get a potato clock....."

                    Oh, I hate it when people get technical.
                    Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
