Divine Defendant
[March 15, 1999] Sometimes you wonder exactly how ridiculous a lawsuit
has to be before a judge will throw it out. Here's one that meets that
criteria: A Pennsylvania man brought suit against G-d for having
allowed his life to be ruined. He demanded, among other things, the
ability to play the guitar, and the resurrection of his mother and pet
pigeon. He insisted that if G-d doesn't appear in His own defense, the
judge should rule against Him by default; and he named, as
co-defendants, every American citizen.
Fortunately, the judge declared us all legally off the hook.
