More Things to Worry About on Friday
You have to see this photo, of the 11-year-old Chinese boy accidentally shot in the eye with an arrow (but it missed his brain). The Sun (London)
The Crawford County (Iowa) Board of Supervisors has just approved another three-yr contract for its county engineer, whose name is Paul Assman. [Ed.: This news is about a week old, but I thought you'd like to know that, even though the law in every state makes changing your name pretty easy, there are still a few people, like this guy and the aforementioned Mr. Kue, who seem to be just born to suffer.] Bulletin Review (Denison, Iowa) [link from Fark.com]
And yet another top-of-the-line guy is accused of lucrative but tacky fraud (socialite money manager Bernard Madoff, of New York and Palm Beach, running what he allegedly admitted was a Ponzi scheme on some of the richest poo-poos in the country). Wall Street Journal
If you're ejected from a restaurant for being stinkin' drunk, and accidentally kill yourself joyously sliding down a bannister on your way out the door, it can mean only one thing: a lawsuit by your family against the restaurant. WHIO-TV (Dayton)

Aye Scottie! I'd like to see it as a matter of law that if someone brings suit against another and loses that they have to pay the other's lawyer's fees.

Shot in the eye - The "arrow" puns were the most disgusting part of that article.
Assman - my exwife worked for a woman whose last name was Hiscox. Her maiden name was Blowe. Why, oh why didn't she hyphneate her last names?
Madoff - I guess he wishes he Made-off with the money, huh? huh? Still, I don't feel bad for rich folks who scam to get more riches.
Bannister - Can families sue gun companies when relatives shoot thmeselves?

He really should have kept an eye out for this kind of accident.

Murph - As much as I would like to take credit for it, that was kingmonkey not me.

I met the woman and can vouch for the name. I didn't suggest to her that she should have kept her hyphenated name, as she was kind of a total bitch and wanted to minimize my thoughts of her, and the action her name would have entailed. Get it? En-tailed?
