We just discussed the need to solve the problem of lawsuit abuse the other day (In Lawsuits We Trust). Please consider this the most recent, and perhaps best, example of just why such reform is needed.
Read through this first, courtesy of Bill Hanstock at sbnation.com:
Really, this could be a primer on how NOT to file a suit.
“What can we learn about the plaintiff from this document? Well, we know first of all that he owns a typewriter, but not a computer. We can further assume that he had only one piece of paper to work with, given the amount of “corrections” made on the fly.
He also appears to be technically filing for “COPRIGHT INFRINGEMENTU” which may not be the same thing as copyright infringement. Hopefully he didn’t accidentally begin a case about something having to do with police rights.”
Even better, Johnnie N. Perry goes so far as refer to his invention as a “three-point stands”. Here’s Mr. Perry’s invention:
Improper pluralization aside, when I think “three points”, I’m generally looking for..three points.
Call me crazy.
—————————
My advice: if you are thinking of filing a “COPRIGHT INFRINGEMENTU” suit, do yourself a favor — find a computer, make sure it has SpellCheck, or at the very least hire a 4th grader as your proof reader.
Otherwise, you could end up as one very unhappy “PALINTIFF“.
Two Heads are Better Than One 
Five million million?
That sounds like a lot, …I think?
I recently filed suit against a ham sandwich, and when the judgement was awarded in my favor, I got to eat one slice of the bread (marbled rye), while my attorney got the other piece of bread, the meat, a great slice of Amish swiss cheese, and the brown mustard.
I suspect the SAME attorney represents your plaintiff….
Tort reform? We don’t need no stinking TORT reform!
You should have held out for the cheese, at least!
Someone needs to hand him a sign.
Mr. Foxworthy would be proud, indeed.

Funny, no mention of corn in the filing, though.
Whoa! Wasn’t prepared for THAT this early……
Hey, Buckeye: Mr. Perry had no more business filing that lawsuit (that someone will need to pay to defend), than I do trying out for the NFL.
“A man has to know his limitations”.
Indeed, sir. And some of us have more limitations than others.
I do hope you didn’t spew coffee on your keyboard or anything similar.
I came very, very close.
A couple seconds earlier and it would have been, “Hello, new keyboard!”……
I wasn’t quick enough to turn and it wasn’t coffee. No worries, though, I always have a big sheet of plastic covering my system at all times for occasions like that and to protect the internals from all the dust leftover once the drones strike.
You would have been fine even without the plastic, John.
I have it on good authority that Jameson Irish Whiskey simply acts as a lubricant for most electronic devices……
🙂
Cool. I’ll take the plastic off the…zzzzzzzzzzzzzttttt!
LOL!!!!!
