Catch a Plaintiff By the Toe


And, man, is she hollerin'.

Just posted an update on the hare-brained SW Airlines Eenie-Meenie-Minie-Mo lawsuit story. Figured I should as it's ranked up there (Top 5) on all the major search engines, and getting boo-coo (well boo-coo for me) hits over the last week or so, since the jury ruled in the case.

And now - your Bonus Useless Factoid of the Day. Who's Yer Daddy? :-)

Did some more interesting reading about the origin of the rhyme. Seems that the thing about grabbing the toe was in reference to testing to see if someone was the Devil. If it hurt, you "let them go" as they weren't the Devil - he was (still is, I guess, in some idjits minds) allegded to have hooves, so pinching his foot would cause no pain.

(Pinches foot, feels pain, sighs, thinks, "And I try so hard.")
