Courtrooms Are For Final Determinations...Or Are They?

How many times have we heard, “We Will Have to Settle This in Court!”

Courtrooms are where we go to resolve the great issues of life, or so they tell us in the movies.

In actuality, it does not always work that way. A case in point is what Wells Fargo is going through as reported in my newspaper...

May 2013...A judge again ordered Wells Fargo to pay $203million to settle California Law Suit which had accused it of overcharging on overdrafts in checking accounts which reversed an award that had been thrown out August of 2010.

Two years and nine months later the thrown out decision is again the decision and they are back to square one.

The two sides are again saying to each other, “We Will Have to Settle This in Court!”

They ought to know better.

They Think We Are Stupid – Part Next

I bought a small nifty safe. The instructions in the Owner’s Manual either thinks I am stupid OR the attorneys are covering the butt of the manufacturer from being sued by the likes of stupid me. I think it is both.

========================

First We-Think-You-Are-Stupid Indicator...

The Instructions get to the second bullet before it shows that they are convinced I am stupid when they tell me...

Do not lock the key in the safe.

Is it possible that a Modern Educated American could be stupid enough to lock the key that opens the safe inside the safe?

What is really sad is they probably feel obligated to tell me this because of past experience where Modern Educated Americans have locked the keys to open their safes inside their locked safes.

=========================

Second We-Think-You-Are-Stupid Indicator...

Under the section called Locking Your Safe I am instructed to...

Close the lid. Once the safe is closed, the safe is securely locked.

They seem to think I think that a safe with the door left open is safely closed.

=========================

On The Other Hand, My Safe Manufacturer Seems To Think I Am Really Smart & Greedy...

On the side of the box containing my nifty safe is a picture of the safe with the door open that shows what could possibly be the contents of a nifty safe like this:

• A jeweled set of earrings and a matching bracelet which both look like they are covered with diamonds.
• A pistol.
• A packet of $1 bills with the band on the packet labeled “$100”.
• A single silver dollar on top of the $100 labeled packet.

On the side of the box is a Disclaimer that states...

“Contents shown are not included”

This was no surprise to me since the nifty safe itself only costs $50.

=========================

As faithful readers of my silly musings, I know you all have wondered from time to time how smart the Smartfella really is. I will now tell you how highly intelligent I am. If I could really obtain all the contents pictured on the side of the box, I would have bought two nifty safes.

When You Consider The Awful Status Of Almost Everything, This Posting Is Not That Important

Some say the world is going to Hell in a Hand Basket.

The Smartfella is thinking that the world just may already be in Hell sitting in that Hand Basket looking back at where it used to be.

=====================

Now for the not too important…

According to Yahoo Sports
HEADLINE: Tiger wins Players Championship with strong finish.
Text from the article: Woods closed out The Players Championship on Sunday like he has so many other tournaments: hitting big shot after big shot down the stretch.

According to the Wall Street Journal
HEADLINE: Woods Wobbles to Win
Text from the article: When Tiger Woods stood on the 14th tee Sunday, he held a three-shot lead and his march to victory seemed inexorable. But a weak hooked tee shot into the water on the hole made him scramble for his 78th career win.

What you wanna bet that the guy pecking out the Yahoo Sports article was not doing so with a baseball cap on (backwards) that read, “Tiger Is One Great Cat”.

This kind of blind reporting just might see this same guy starting a campaign to have Tiger “awarded” 5 more victories so he can pass Sam Snead.

Can’t you just see him pecking out something like, “Tiger deserves these 5 more wins. If he had not been such a complete jerk and so completely screwed up his personal, family and golfing life, he would have certainly won 5 more times.”

To the Smartfella’s way of thinking, no one should ever be allowed to pass Sam Snead because Slammin’ Sammy uttered the greatest line in the history of golf when he said, “I have always wanted to shoot a round of golf equal to my age. There is a lot of pressure on me to do that this year because I am 61 years old. Next year it will be too easy”. 

Would I kid u?

More: As he grew older he shot his age many times. For example, in 1983, at age 71, he shot 60 at his home course, The Homestead. It really was too easy.

What people in the past may have gotten from church, I get from the Internet and FaceBook. That is our religion.

The Cheshire Cat Lives

The Smartfella thinks the Cheshire Cat has taken control of  the Same Sex Marriage issue.

According to the Wall Street Journal one of the main reasons why the Gay Population needs to have the rights and privileges of Same Sex Marriage is that they need to have the rights and privileges of Same Sex Divorce.

Would the WSJ kid us?
