I hereby demand that all national forests be given not only guardrails on each an every cliff. But also no less than a 1" Nerf coating on all rocks and sharp edges.

Camper sues government over stumble
Friday, August 04, 2006

Here's a tip for campers on the go:

Bring a flashlight when wandering in the woods.

Jerry Mersereau, 23, learned that lesson the hard way when he trekked out in the dark to relieve himself and fell off a cliff in the Mt. Hood National Forest.

Ouch.

Tucked into his lawsuit (Jerry Mersereau v. United States of America) is this succinct description of his misadventure: "While finding a place to relieve himself, plaintiff walked off the unguarded and unprotected cliff falling approximately 20 to 30 feet to the creek bed below."

Now Mersereau wants the U.S. government to pay for his injuries and the "mental anguish" his fall has caused. He says the government should have known the cliff posed a danger to campers.

I think all mountains should have escalators for hikers too.

too bad he didnt fall head first and rid himself...idiots like that need to be removed from the gene pool, one can only hope he didn't breed so as to further contaminate the earth.

judges should be allowed to immediately throw these a$$holes in jail for clogging the dockets.

SteveW, dig the sig.

Entourage?
Yes.

I prefer quotes from deadwood , but they break the 100 character limit to often.

such as....
HEARST: "When I say f**k yourself Sheriff will you put that down to drunkenness or a high estimate of your athleticism?"
or

Tolliver: "And don't the kid in all of us look forward to the new arrival. I still tingle at the bottom of my balls. Who could be coming? President Hayes? Maybe it's jugglers, or face-painters."
