There's Nothing Wrong With That Car, Plaintiffs Insist OREGON (CN) – In a quintessentially American lawsuit, a mother and homeowner has sued the Preston Meadows Homeowners Association in Clackamas County Court. Plaintiff Mary Schell says the HOA has repeatedly reported her to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Department, claiming that her son is violating HOA covenants that prohibit disabled vehicles from being parked in front of a house. But Schell and her son insist there is nothing wrong with the car, a 1963 Chevrolet Bellaire.

This is a short excerpt from a case I was reading today. It had to do with whether expert testimony was required to establish the standard of care for real estate brokers.

Letterman's Top Ten Top Ten Signs Your Pilot is Drunk. Midflight asks, "Which one of you losers is the designated driver?" Invites all passengers to a "layover" in his hotel room. You experience heavy turbulence and you're only taxiing to the runway. Delays takeoff to de-ice his mojito. Giggling fit every time he says the word "cockpit". At security, passengers remove shoes - he removes pants. Long rambling announcements about what animal shapes he's seeing in the clouds. In lieu of P.A. safety instructions, he sings "Kung Fu Fighting". Wings on his hat made of folded cocktail straws. Introduces his co-pilots Johnnie Walker and Jack Daniels.
