#3 Seven items totaling 9.56 pounds.

Note that the ounces quoted are fluid ounces (except, maybe, the fruit). You can't translate them into pounds without knowing the density of the substances and the weight of the packaging.

In high school gym class I took a hockey stick to the thumb. It bent my thumbnail backward into the nail bed, and bled some and hurt like a sumbitch. The PE teacher (a man, of course) said, "Awww, diddums bweak a nail?" After class I went to the nurse to have some goop put on it, and she went to have a word with coach. He had teeth marks on his ass the next day. Do not misunderestimate the pain of cracked nails.

That aside, this is stupid.

Her husband also is seeking that amount in damages, claiming that as a result of his wifeâs injuries he has been deprived of her attention and comfort and suffered a loss of consortium.

She broke a toe (maybe) and he can't get any? What kind of pathetic losers are they?

Or maybe I should ask how they normally "consort"?

#8 A table at a friend's house I was trying to lift up a few years back separated from a leg and fell squarely on my thumb toe (or whatever the damn thing is called) and scrunched it really good. The hematoma formed promptly under the nail, causing a great deal of pain, and most of the toenail itself came off a couple of weeks later. All this time walking was a chore.

Stupid me, I didn't sue anyone.
