• [OT] Woman's son returns from the dead

    From Rhino@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 29 13:48:45 2024
    A woman sat with her son for 3 days as he lay dying in an Ottawa
    hospital. He died early in January. Then, the day before his funeral,
    she got a text from him. It was NOT a scam.

    Her actual son, as opposed to the similar-looking stranger who actually
    died, says the incident was a wake-up call and has prompted him to make important changes in his life.

    No lawsuits are apparently in the offing over this case of mistaken
    identity. Canadians aren't NEARLY as litigious as Americans!

    You have a shortage of P.I. attorneys. You need 100,000? I'll start the paperwork. We can spare that many.

    How ________ of you. I wanted to say generous but, somehow, that word
    doesn't fit since I don't think I'd really appreciate another 100,000
    lawyers in this country :-)

    Still, I have to admire the way you are thinking out of the box. Not
    everyone would notice that this was a wonderful opportunity to purge
    America of a signficant percentage of its lawyers :-)
