"U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) is suing the operators of a House cafeteria for alleged negligence stemming from a almost 3-year-old incident involving a sandwich he says left him with significant dental injuries. ... Kucinich's suit also claims he "sustained other damages," including "significant pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment." He also accuses the four firms of breach of implied warranty."

He's suing for $150,000. Over an olive pit.

What a little douche.

"biting into the pit in April 2008 split a tooth down to the bone, caused excruciating pain and required reconfigured bridgework. The damaged tooth became infected, and he suffered a reaction to an antibiotic and an intestinal obstruction that required emergency medical attention ... The initial dental implant to replace the split tooth failed and required a second attempt, he said. None of the dental expenses were covered by insurance"

An olive might have a seed in it. I don't think the food people are really responsible for that...

Who bites down hard enough to split their tooth to the bone? If he chews that hard regularly, then he should have a habit of checking his olives first.

You have to understand proportions. He's a very small man, biting down on an olive pit to him is like biting a coconut to us.

Does anyone really care whether he has any credibility? Oh well, this thread should be entertaining anyway.

He's suing not because it's an olive pit but because it wasn't the alien probe he was expecting left over from his abduction...

^^^^I was so starving the other day that I just blindly and aggressively devoured a sandwich in a matter of seconds.

But even then, it's not like your gotta chomp down for dear life every bite. That's just weird.

He must have bad teeth.
