The Continuing Saga of the $65,000,000 Pants

This ridiculous case of the missing pants gets more surreal by the day. "Before trial began yesterday in the case of the D.C. judge who sued his neighborhood dry cleaners after they lost his pants, the most extraordinary fact was Roy Pearson's demand for $65 million in damages. That was before Pearson, an administrative law judge, broke down while testifying about the emotional pain of having the cleaners give him the wrong pants. It was before an 89-year-old woman in a wheelchair told of being chased out of the cleaners by an angry owner. And it was before she compared the owners of Custom Cleaners in open court to Nazis." This judge is a lunatic. What about the genuine emotional pain of the store owners whose lives he has ruined? Dare we hope the jurors aren't complete morons?
