>Yeah, I remember that one. But I've also heard of people suing and winning under the "American's with disabilities" act because they were too fat. As a comedian once put it, "If you're missing an arm or a leg, you're disabled. If you're missing a cheesecake, you're full." And because of this, some people get special parking at the mall (near the food court, I presume).


Brings to mind a fake newsitem on www.theonion.com. The "Americans with no Abilities Act is signed into law by Clinton". Article stated how people who are lazy will no longer be able to be persecuted on the job.....
