NEW ORLEANS - A Louisiana woman is suing a Wal-Mart store over what she claims was a much-too-close encounter of the furry kind. Rebecca White says in her lawsuit that employees at a Wal-Mart in Abbeville let a rat-tailed rodent known as a nutria run loose and scare her. She says that not only did employees know it was in their store, but gave it a pet name, Norman, and failed to warn shoppers.
White says she was pushing a full shopping cart down an aisle in October when the nutria ran out from behind a rack. She says she pulled the cart backward in a panicked attempt to protect herself and hurt her back and foot.
I don’t know what the jury will say but it’s nice to see that some of us are still pursuing “the american dream.”
I’ll adopt Norman.
Nutria?
Isn’t that what the Wal*Mart uses to make the deli’s “Old Fashioned Loaf?”
Thinking he may have broken down, I stopped.
What he was doing was checking traps that he had set for Nutria. He would their pelts to a guy who would drive down from New York.
I say we turn him loose on the floor of the house,
he could say hi to all his relatives.
George Costanza had a hat made from Nutria, but it wasn’t worth $8000 . . . .
My EYES! ! ! !
Another casualty of the seduction of art! LOL!
Litigation as a career choice.
“George Costanza had a hat made from Nutria...”
Looks like he had a shirt made at the same time.
