(I could have said he took them to the cleaners, but that's so far beyond lame, it's from the pit!) Apparently the dry cleaner advertised some kind of satisfaction guarantee. The judge thought it reasonable to sue for $60,000,000. Not just for personal damages, though, but on behalf of all dry-cleaning customers who had lost items of clothing over the years. Yeah right! We are living in crazy times; most of the time my response is just being totally gobsmacked. Surely the world can't continue like this for much longer?

I don't think that solves or helps anything though. People can have a great deal of influence on many lives if they live in a god-honoring way, being sure to check frequently that you're not in fact being prudish, superior or self-righteous.
