DETROIT (AP) - A Michigan woman whose hand was broken while she was reaching for toilet paper can sue a restaurant over her injury.

The case is dividing the Michigan Supreme Court. The court's liberal majority says a jury should decide whether the dispenser created an unreasonable risk of harm at Texas Roadhouse in Taylor.

The court's three conservative justices say there should be no liability for ordinary accidents.

Sheri Schooley says it's a "bizarre story." She says the cover on the dispenser fell on her right hand, breaking it.

The 58-year-old South Rockwood woman says she can't work as an administrative assistant because she can't type. Schooley also says her bowling average dropped by 40 pins after she was forced to switch hands.

A lower court refused to dismiss the lawsuit.

Bidets for everybody. ;D

That is until someone drowns. :ROFL:

[ximmy]

I hate it when that happens

[madfranks]

Was there a witness in her stall who can testify on her behalf that her story is true? Otherwise how can she prove how her hand was broken? The fact that a court can be split over this boggles the mind!

Once upon a time when I worked for Sears, there was a lady that told me she wanted to exchange her refrigerator because she kept hitting her head with the freezer door handle when trying to get to her frozen foods. I tried not to laugh but the mental imagery was too overwhelming.

Nothing like a simple roller with one of my tp's in it......simple ;D

OUCH!!!!!

I just suffered a paper cut from some printer paper from HP and I'm in great pain. My oh My. What do I do to get rid of this paper cut and to ease the tremendous pain that I am in? AH HA!!!!!! I got an idea. Instead of putting a band-aid on my finger, I will sue HP for a billion dollars and that should make everything better.

:oo--> :oo--> :oo-->

I can understand her sueing those bastards. If I broke my wiping hand I don't think I could do it with the other one and I'd probably have to hire someone to do it for me until I got healed up.

[gunny highway]

if this was me i would be too embarassed to sue anyone. i wouldn't want my friends knowing how aggressive i am when wiping my butt.
