Remember those old "Gorilla-proof" suitcases American Tourister used to make? The ad with the gorilla throwing the suitcase around was a real gem. Well, some 30 years ago, someone threw one of those out of a train, and it bounced several times on the platform, finally landing on a woman's head and breaking her neck. The family sued the manufacturer, even introducing the gorilla ad as evidence, and bankrupted the company.
Ours is a litigious society. We are suing each other into oblivion.
