    Lightbulb Lawsuit for Smart People

    Mr. Merv Grazinski of
    Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot
    Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home, having driven onto the
    freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the
    drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee.
    Not surprisingly, the R.V. left the freeway, crashed and overturned.
    Mr. Grazinski
    sued Winnebago for not advising him in the owner's manual that he couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded him $1,750,000 plus a
    new motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete morons buying their recreation vehicles.

    Thats crazy. I'm sure the manual doesn't say anything about shooting yourself in the foot while you drive one...someone get a gun and an RV.

    Funny buying stuff that is made in or for the american market. Owners manual being completely insane sometimes. Like this camera my parents bought once. "Don't run sideways while taking pictures" "Do not put in the dishes" "Do not drive while using camera". bla bla. We just laughed.
