Au contraire, mon frere!

United States ex rel. Mayo v. Satan and His Staff, 54 F.R.D. 282 (Pa. 1971).

Mayo filed a lawsuit against Satan. Mayo complained that Satan, "on numerous occasions caused plaintiff misery" and caused his downfall. The court refused the case as it was impossible to serve Satan with notice to come to court

Public prosecutor spokesman Christian Avenarius said: "We will act upon the complaint with speed and
diligence."

This means they will refuse the case and ship the guy off to the loony farm as fast as they can...

Have you ever heard of the Knallerbsenstrauch? This was the most weird litigation I can remember in the last 4 years I think.

To be a judge in this country is not really a nice job even you're well paid. All this trivia...

Germany = Disneyland

Well usually I say Bayern=Disneyland Deutschlands but this would be not recommendable here ph34r.gif

Ja it was. Maschendraht Zaun in the morning, Maschendrahtzaun day and night laugh.gif It was so weird. Have you ever seen Höllische Nachbarn? This was very funny aswell.

German telly. I call it "Gehirndünnschiss". Who needs RTL? Thank godness they back off cable tv. RTL is the most useless broadcaster here, besides Sat1, RTL2 etc. Hmm that's another chapter in history of German "Gehirndünnschiss" telly biggrin.gif
