"A man
sued the Little Debbie company for 40 million dollars because he was eating a snack cake
and fell out of a tree. He won because he claimed there should have been a warning label
on the box stating that the cakes should not be eaten in trees! "

"There

with frivolous lawsuits. The only way to do this would be to make the one who files pay
for all costs if he/she loses."
