CNN.com - Fight over finger found in custard - May 6, 2005
i understand completely that this was going to be a lawsuit at some point. i understand that the finger is a huge piece of evidence. i think this guy will make off like a bandit because he almost ate a finger. but come on! the guy who lost it is 23! and now he’s stubby fingered! he’s going to have to polish up his game because it’s certainly going to be harder for him to get dates sans a finger tip. but come on, it’s not like it wasn’t documented what happened. you had doc’s report, etc. give the kid his finger back!
i hope the fingerless kid sues the guy who almost ate it. (and despite what will be my considerable future, i’m very much against frivolous lawsuits, which i’m convinced so many are. yes, people need a place to air grievances, but abuse of the legal system goes on way too much. sorry you feel bad about something minor that happened to you, not really grounds to sue. and no in this case i don’t think this is totally frivolous, but that might change once things are filed. if the complaint that’s sure to comes alleges things like so emotionally distraught he cannot eat frozen custard, his favorite dessert, then it’ll border frivolous to me)
