KEROUACKING About The LEGAL LANDSCAPE Leslie Carwell

Actual cases from the book: - Boomerang unexpectedly returned and smacked you in the face? This is America, not Australia. We got you covered! - Train whistled at you and caused you tinnitus? It's a disability, file a claim! - Horse emptying his bowels on your lap? That's an "impact" and if the horse can't pay, its owner surely can! - Bought a pair of binoculars? Looked into the sun and hurt your eyes? Mislabelled, it's as clear as daylight! - Stole a gun and shot yourself? Worry not, you're technically unsophisticated and under aged too! - Are you too short to fly a Boeing 747? It's a handicap. Also a discrimination and let's see if we can shrink that bird! - Got a permanent erection? It must be your motorcycle, or the seat, or both! - Dead fly in bottled water? Head to court, even if you didn't drink the water! - Refused school admission seven times in a row? That's academic malpractice, we can help!
