I think you are a little off on this. You got the gun right, but they offered her a choice of dogmeat or coke.

The courts allow the most idiotic lawsuits these days.

Woman Dies Of 2 Gallon A Day Coke Habit sounds like it could be a thread in the DUmpster, if you change what sort of 'coke' it is referring to.

Ah, a true aficionado of phrases. I was hoping that interpretation would be a draw.

Maybe, they probably drink as much as the woman who died does.

Which is why we need loser pays tort reform. You bring a frivolous lawsuit and lose, you pay for the company's attorneys (I would set a cap on it to keep the company being sued from just loading up on attorneys to price it out of reach)

Exactly. Loser pays tort reform will stop a lot of frivolous law suits.
