Funny or happy? It's a good question to ask. Let's start with (drumroll please)....
Funny
So I am coming into work today I hear about the killer shrimp. What makes this shrimp so deadly is that it killed - after being cooked. Dastardly!
Apparently at a Beni Hana's in Long Island, some guy took his family to Beni Hana's for his son's birthday. The cook would occasionally fling parts of the food at them (that mean SOB, if only there was a way to predict that would happen - like any commercials they make or all the pictures in the restaurant). So this scary chef continues to fling hot food, and actually threw a piece of a shrimp at the father. He ducked out of the way.
Ahh. And therein lies the problem. You see the Beni Hana chairs don't have whiplash headrests. So he hurt his neck. Well, 5 months later he goes to a doctor (I think this was a "Dr. Quack" but I may have the name wrong). The Doctor convinces him that he vertebrates are hurt, so he must have an operation. He does.
Dr. Quack finds out that that "an operation" is very little like the game "operation" and botches the vertebra "fixin' thingy". The Beni Hana Trauma patient needs a second operation.
The second operation, while doing a better job of vertebra fixin', has the small (tiny really) down side of introducing some minor infections. From which the husbands dies.
The family, sad beyond belief, files a wrongful death suit at Beni Hana for a meal that occurred 10 months earlier.
The judge, faced with the legal precendent that requires a clear chain of causation, allows the case to move forward and go to trail. I wish I could be on that jury.
Happy
I love Arnold. Really. I know Eddie didn't vote for him, but I love him.
California politics sucks (like must politics) because it is dominated by the die-hards (on both sides). A big (nay - mammoth) cause is our politicians love of drawing safe districts. So it is a Republican or Democratic district (in CA of course mainly Democratic). So the real fight is in the primary - and the craziest, most left or right wing guy wins.
Arnold wants to change that. Wants a different way to draw districts. Yeah! "But Scott, " I hear you say, "the legislature will never go for that." Oh yee of little faith. You forget you live in California - land of crazies.
We have a constitution that allows the Governor to, wait for it, call a special election to vote on anything with 5 months notice.
And Scooter smiles.
