Hitting the McLottery

It seems that another person may have drawn the lucky number in the McLottery. I think that I should order a mushroom burger without mushrooms and then take a big bite. I know that I always check my food and ask if I have any questions.

How much money will this guy win? Only the jury from West Virginia knows. Of course those same juries are the reason you can't find obstetricians and other specialized medical professionals in West Virginia.

My heart is warmed by the spirit of charity that this guy demonstrates toward those who made it possible.

However, this charity is based on a lawsuit that seeks damages on two counts of negligence, one count of intentional infliction of emotional distress and one count of punitive damages. Negligence perhaps. But, I doubt that the pimply-faced kid bagging the order intended to inflict emotional distress on the "victim". If that were the case, I could be a millionaire myself since I have had my orders improperly filled on numerous occasions. Now I know that I am a victim of the intentional infliction of emotional distress. I wonder if I could charge a certain ex-wife with "intentional infliction of emotional distress." Hmmmmmmm.

If this guy is so allergic to cheese (and I guess he obviously is) he should have "McChecked" the thing before he started to eat it. "Well, I could DIE if I eat something with cheese but I'm just going to trust that a couple of teenagers making minimum wage are gonna get this right." Good plan. What a McMoron.

If the hsopital bill was $700 that is the absolute most he should get. Period. And that's being generous.
