When a city-owned dump truck crashed into Curtis Gokey’s car, the first thing on his mind was to sue the city of Lodi, CA for damages. But there was one problem. Mr. Gokey (a city employee) was driving the dump truck, and his car was parked, reports the Lodi News-Sentinel. The city rejected the $3,600 claim, because Gokey was in effect suing himself. So, Gokeys cooked up another plan. Rhonda Gokey filed another claim, this time for $4,800. The second claim is pending at Lodi City Hall.

I thought Congress passed a bill to reduce this kind of lawsuit garbage.

Sigh. My lack of faith in our species gets another stunning example.
