did you hear about this..
ridiculous story...
here is basically what it was about (Full story 1 )
A judge had to leave the courtroom with tears running down his face Tuesday after recalling the lost pair of trousers that led to his $54 million lawsuit against a dry cleaner.
Pearson also called himself as a witness, saying his problems began in May 2005 when he brought in several suits for alterations. A pair of pants from a blue and maroon suit was missing when he requested it two days later. He said Soo Chung tried to give him a pair of charcoal gray pants.
As Pearson explained that those weren't the pants for the suit, he choked up and left the courtroom crying after asking Bartnoff for a break.![]()

Pearson originally asked the cleaners for the full price of the suit, which was more than $1,000. But because the Chungs insisted the pants had been found, they refused to pay.
Manning has said the cleaners made three settlement offers to Pearson, but the judge was not satisfied and increased his demands — including asking for money to rent a car so he could drive to another business.
THANK GOD HE DIDNT WIN.. how silly!!!!
Full Story 2
A judge ruled Monday that no pair of pants is worth $54 million, rejecting a lawsuit that took a dry cleaner's promise of 'Satisfaction Guaranteed' to its most litigious extreme.
Bartnoff ordered Pearson to pay clerical court costs of about $1,000 to defendants Soo Chung, Jin Nam Chung and Ki Y. Chung. A motion to recover the Chungs' tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees will be considered later.
Speaking to reporters outside their dry cleaners, the Chungs said they held no hard feelings toward Pearson. 'If he wants to continue using our services, then, yes, he is welcome,' Soo Chung, a Korean immigrant, said through a translator![]()
.. the poor dry cleaner would still take him as a customer!! oh geshhh
