It's time for the Annual "Stella Awards". For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after Stella ***, who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's in New Mexico. You remember, she took the lid off and put the coffee between her knees while driving. Who would ever think one could get burned that way?
This years First Place Stell Award winner was Mrs Merv ****, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a 32 foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, she set the cruise control on 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat, to make herself a sandwich.
Did you hear me? She left the seat to make herself a sandwich!!!
Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed, and over turned. Also, not surprising, she sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manuel that she couldn't leave the drivers seat while the cruise control was set.
The Oklahoma Jury awarded her----your setting down, right?--1,750.000 PLUS a new motorhome!!
