News and Snark

Airlines are cutting flights to increase load factors in order to stem their losses (like nobody saw that coming).

Man finds a knife baked into his Subway sandwich, no allegation of injury, but he sues for $1 million. His lawyer thinks it "might be malicious." I don't know about where he got his sandwich, but in the Subway joints I've bought them, I've never had to hang around while they bake the fucking bread.

  1. I once found a staple in a key lime pie I was eating at a restaurant. You mean I missed out on my chance to grab a million bucks and add to the feral litigiousness of this country? I guess I did miss out when I walked up to the counter and said, "Hey, there was a staple in my pie. Can you get me another piece?"

    What gets me is the lawyer claiming this was "malicious", suggesting that this Subway chain intentionally tried to harm his stupid "client". This slice of B.S. reminds of yet another slice of B.S.: Bride sues florist for $400,000. Also a New Yorker. Coincidence? Maybe not....
