Now, now, Longbow. Don't be facetious about such serious
matters. 

First off, I'm sueing Esso. Their gasoline made my car go so
fast that I lost control and ran into a herd of several
thousand caribou. Esso's guilt is undeniable. If I hadn't
put their gas in my car, I wouldn't have been at the scene
of the accident.

Now I'm taking Newfoundland Hydro to court. Their
electricity burned my caribou steaks. And I had to eat that
Newfie delicacy, cold seal-flipper pie. Talk about pain and
suffering!

I'll settle out of court for free hydro for the rest of the
winter. I'll need lots of kilowatts to cook all these
caribou. (-g-)

C'mon Roland. Jump in and give us your expert legal opinion.
Just don't try any more of your usual argumentum ad hominem
nonsense, or I'll stuff you back in my kill-file.
