NYC Man Files 2 Undecillion Dollar Lawsuit

[Initech]

A Manhattan man is suing New York City, a “Latina” dog owner, bakery and café chain Au Bon Pain, LaGuardia Airport, Hoboken University Medical Center, a Kmart store, and thousands of others -- for two undecillion dollars.

That’s the number “2” followed by 36 zeroes. Written out, it looks like this: $2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Anton Purisima, 62, filed a handwritten lawsuit in New York Southern District Court on April 11, after his middle finger was supposedly bitten by a “rabies-infected” dog on a city bus.

In the 22-page lawsuit, Purisima goes on to say that he gets “knowingly” overcharged for coffee at the Au Bon Pain store at LaGuardia Airport.

1. If you know they are overcharging you, why would you keep buying coffee from the same place?

Not sure what grievances he has KMart and the thousand of others.

2. Strange that it happened on the bus. Don't most rabies-infected dogs use taxis?

3. you should have a look at the 22 page handwritten lawsuit...

even if you have a mild knowledge of handwriting analysis, you will see that this guy is fucking crazy. (aside from the obvious)

4. This is how insane the amount of money is

<snip>
By weight, the single most valuable thing that's been bought and sold on an open market is probably the Treskilling Yellow postage stamp. There's only one known copy of it, and in 2010 it sold for $2,300,000. That works out to about $30 billion per kilogram of stamps. If the Earth's weight were entirely postage stamps, it would still not be enough to pay off Au Bon Pain's potential debt.

5. But that's how much the top 10 CEOs get paid each year (includes their

offshore tax-haven money). What is the world coming to when bus-riders expect to get as much as CEOs?

6. Just wait until a jury decides he wins. Then the fun will begin.
