I'll admit to being a news junkie ... I check the online news sites of about a half a dozen networks and newspapers regularly ... but this morning when I read the headlines about the Supreme Court of Canada hearing the case of a guy suing a water distribution company because he and his wife found a dead fly in their bottle of water and he suffered EXTREME psychological distress and suffering because of it ... I was beyond shocked ...BUT ... this morning the headlines across the board tout the Supreme Court's UNANIMOUS (9-0) rejection of this case, and not only toss the settlement of in excess of 300 000 dollars, but order the guy to PAY the court costs for the company he sued !!!
Every once in a while the stars line up and common sense seems to prevail ... this is ONE of those moments ...
Just because buddy spotted a fly (SPOTTED A FLY BEFORE HE OPENED THE BOTTLE) he claims he was traumatized and developed a phobia of water among other things ... sorry, but he has issues that clearly extend beyond the erstwhile insect floating in an UNOPENED bottle of water ...
I'm glad the Supreme Court slammed the door on this frivolous law suit by saying: a "person of normal fortitude, a more reasonable person, would have had a more reasonable reaction."
Thanks to the Highest Court in our land for letting common sense prevail and having the courage to say that lovely little word: "NO!!!!!"

There was a young man kicked out of the courts,
He was kicked out of the courts cause he filed a suit,
He filed a suit cause he's scared of the fly,
But I don't know why he's scared of the fly
Perhaps....... i'll end my rhyme......
