An Obituary

Can't let this go by: "Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement."

If you read the full story behind the infamous Micky D coffee suit, you may just find yourself with a bit more sympathy for the woman.

Otherwise pretty much right on!

I don't think anyone here feels unsympathetic towards an 80 year old woman burning herself with coffee. I think the joke comes from everyone's reaction to the trial.
