Why I Have No Faith In the Judiciary: Okay, so this guy's got a boring job, right? And so he tries to make it interesting by doing stupid stuff. When he gets hurt, he sues the company.

What does the Judge say?

"We agree that, under these circumstances, horseplay of the type that occurred here is a foreseeable incident of one's employment on the atoll," wrote Judge Barry Silverman.

Couldn't he have just, you know, read a book?

And does something being forseeable mean it's allowable? I work with money. Lots of people want to take the money. Does the fact that it's forseeable mean I don't get to prosecute if they take it?
