    Amusing headline from 1982

    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?
    The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.

    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?
