AHAHAHAHAHAHA THIS IS REALLY FUNNY!!!!! U GUYS WILL LUV IT!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And we just blame the blondes.



It's time once again to review the winners of the
Annual "Stella Awards."
The Stella Awards are named after 81 year-old Stella
Liebeck who spilled hot
coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's
(in NM). That case
inspired the Stella awards for the most frivolous,
ridiculous, successful
lawsuits in theUnited States.

   Here are this year's winners:

   5th Place (tie):

Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded
$80,000 by a jury of her
peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a
toddler who was running
inside a furniture store. The owners of the store
were understandably
surprised at the verdict, considering the
misbehaving little toddler was
Ms.Robertson's son.


   5th Place (tie):

19-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000
and medical expenses his
neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord.
Mr.Truman apparently
didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the
car when he was trying
to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.

   5th Place (tie):

   Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was
leaving a house he had
just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was
not able to get the
garage door to go up since the automatic door opener
was malfunctioning. He
couldn't re-enter the house because the door
connecting the house and garage
locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on
vacation, and Mr.
Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight
days. He subsisted on a
case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog
food. He sued the
homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused
him undue mental
anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.

   4th Place:

   Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was
awarded $14,500 and medical
expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his
next door neighbor's
beagle.
The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced
yard.
The award was less than sought because the jury felt
the dog might have been
just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams
who had climbed over the
fence into the yard and was shooting it repeatedly
with a pellet gun.

   3rd Place:

   A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay
Amber Carson of
Lancaster,Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped
on a soft drink and broke
her coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor
because Ms.
Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds
earlier during an argument.

   2nd Place:

   Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully
sued the owner of a night
club in a neighboring 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 ladies
room to avoid paying the
$3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and
dental expenses.

   1st Place:

   This year's run away winner was Mrs. Merv
Grazinski of Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand new
32-foot Winnebago motor home.
On her first trip home, (from an OU football game),
having driven onto the
freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and
calmly left the drivers
seat to go into the back & make herself a sandwich.
Not surprisingly, the RV
left the freeway, crashed and overturned.
Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for
not advising her in the owner'smanual that she
couldn't actually do this.
The jury awarded her $1,750,000 plus a new motor
home. The company actually
changed their manuals on the basis of this suit,
just in case there were any
other complete morons around.
