Here is something that just bugged me after I saw it:

"Cop drops slippy puddle lawsuit"

First off, a police officer suing someone for slipping in a puddle?

And secondly, is it slippy or slippery? Slippy sounds so corny and lame.

Yeah that's a good one too.
Read the original story here

Serve and protect, lol.

"The child, Joey Cosmillo, fell into the family pool in January. He was resuscitated but suffered brain damage and can't walk, talk or swallow. He lives in a nursing home and eats and breathes through tubes."

......

"Police Sgt. Andrea Eichhorn alleges the boy's family left a puddle of water on the floor, causing her fall during the rescue effort. She broke her knee and missed two months of work."

......

"It's a situation where the Cosmillos have caused these problems, brought them on themselves, then tried to play the victim," Heil[the officer's lawyer] said."

Maximum insensitivity possible?
