The guy waited two years before filing a lawsuit? Oh, that's right. John Edwards was busy for much of 2004.

A few friends had gathered in Bob's basement rec room for an evening of drinks and dancing. With the party in full swing, one of the girls excused herself to go to the john. This room, it seems, had been newly painted in a charming pastel blue; it was supposed to be a fast-drying enamel, but it hadn't dried fast enough, and the young lady found herself stuck. Her shrieks brought Joe's girl friend, who, unable to do anything about the situation herself, summoned Joe. After several minutes of uncontrolled laughter, Joe managed to produce a screw driver and detach the thing, permitting the girl to stand up. But they still couldn't get it off, so they called a doctor.

"Did you ever see anything like this before, doctor?" the girl asked in embarrassment when the M.D. arrived.

"Well, yes," the doctor replied truthfully, "but I believe this is the first time I've ever seen one framed."

Had a Lady come sailing into the door of the hardware store one morning, she was gonna sue the crap out of me, as a salesman, and gonna sue the crap out of the manufacturer, of the particular brand of superglue involved!
Her right thumb, first finger, second finger, and the tube of superglue, were fused into one solid piece.
Buy a little tube of superglue, don't read the instructions, just squeeze the damned thing until it pops,
and then show up expecting sympathy from me! Sorry, but I don't think so!
Our society preserves, and protects, specimens that would end up inside an alligator, if left to their own resources!

I'm sure he'll be awarded PILES of money.

Why after the jury award, he'll be FLUSH with money.

I dunno why they had to call an ambulance. I mean, this WAS a Home Depot, right?

Typical guy, didn't inspect the seat carefully before sitting down. I wonder if they had those paper thingys available?

Well, if he first put paper on the seat, he would have realized something was wrong. Serves him right for setting his @ss directly on the seat.

It was a terrible joke and the man was ill at the time. I feel for the guy. But I don't think he should get a settlement...15 minutes is not that long.

My gut instinct is that he's the #1 suspect for putting the glue on the seat.

Either that or it 2 years of lawyer shopping to find one willing to even bother.

after about 15 minutes

According to Ford's "48 minute rule" no one should have noticed for at least another 33 minutes.

It is quit common for litigants to wait until shortly prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations before filing a lawsuit. Could be he tried to reasonably resolve the case and Home depot was hoping the statute of limitations would expire.

If they had put a crown on his head he may have looked like King Dick For A Day as they wheeled him away on the unbolted toilet.

You're no fun. You stole the John Deadwards line with post #1. I guess this guy suing at all is all Bush's fault.
