We have a library in our break area at work.

One of the custodians goes to the local library booksale occasionally and buys books to stock the quiet room.

I was out of reading material, and going through the latest additions found a copy of "A Canticle for Leibowitz".

I liked the book enough to buy it years ago for my own collection, so I grabbed it off the shelf to read.

Someone had used a newspaper clipping as a bookmark.

The headline?

"Wine Company sued in rape"

Edwardsville, Ill-

A woman whose husband downed a bottle of cheap wine and then raped a neighbor is suing the wine company for more than $10 million, alleging the wine caused the attack.

And people think frivolous lawsuits are a new endeavor?:p

Now you are going to have to do some research and find out how the suit ended!

Did the judge throw it out?
Did the wife win?
