Have y’all heard about the judge in DC suing a dry cleaner for losing his pants?

Quick backstory: Pearson brought five suits in for alterations because he needed the pants let out. One of the suits came back without pants. Pearson sued under the city’s consumer protection law. He got to his $65 million damages claim, which he lowered last week to $54 million, through a formula that penalized the cleaners $18,000 for each day a “Satisfaction Guaranteed” sign hung from the store.

Well, according to the WSJ law blog, while describing the agony when he realized his pants were lost for all eternity, this weenie broke down in tears on the stand. He cried over cuffed pants. CRIED over pants!

Good lord. No wonder the court system in this country is a mess.

(My apologies to James Taranto and Best Of The Web Today for stealing their headline. It was the only one that fit.)
