Look at posting <485@unmc.UUCP> in net.legal for a truly bizarre item. Beats anything I've seen here lately!

In case you don't feel like going to net.legal, here it is: < From: cs2551an@unmc.UUCP < Newsgroups: net.legal < Subject: finding toes < Message-ID: <485@unmc.UUCP> < Organization: Univ. of New Mexico, Albuquerque < Lines: 30 < Keywords: suing for all I can get < < < < Recently I found a human toe at a local fast food restaurant. I didn't < suffer any real damage but I would like to sue them for all that I can. I have < several questions. < < 1. Should I try to find a legitamate lawyer or one who is only out for money < (like me) I feel that I don't really have a legitamate claim but I still < have a good chance of winning the case. < < 2. How much should I sue for. I'm only in it for the money, but if I go too < high they probably won't give me anything. I don't really want to put < anyone out of a job but it seems that an insurance company wouldn't be < too angry at anyone if I didn't sue for very much.(They might even settle < out of court so I won't have to go through the hassle of court) < < 3. I didn't really suffer any damages(except for the price of my meal but I < was already refunded that) but can I sue for things like emotional damages < and things like that? < < 4. I doubt that anyone out there has found a toe in their food but if you've < heard of any cases where anyone has could you please send me all you know < about it. < < 5. Should I report it to all the news media so I have a better chance of < winning the case or will that allow the company to use some loophole? < < < thanx in advance (but you can't have a cut) < David North < < -- --Kevin Chu ..ucbvax!ucdavis!vega!ccs020 /ex
