The same sick mentality that drives to "tobacco liability" lawsuits, coupled with a good dose of lawyer greed, is what we see in this story from a sad reality -- that sometimes it manages to be so sad, it is hilarious.

"A Canadian tourist who claims his penis was crushed by a faulty toilet seat in a New York restaurant has sued the restaurant owner for $2.3 million.

Lawyers for Edward Skwarek say he had been sitting on the toilet in a restaurant owned by the coffee retailer Starbucks Corporation, when he turned to reach for toilet paper behind him.

The lawyers say the seat shifted, causing his penis to be caught and crushed between the seat and the bowl.

The suit alleges the coffee house was careless in not fixing a defective toilet seat. It also claims Mr Skwarek has suffered a crushed penis that now deviates to one side, retrograde ejaculation, infertility, severe bruising and sexual function impairment. Mr Skwarek is seeking $1.5 million in damages and his wife $765,000 because she has been deprived of his services," reports the Australian Broadcast Corp.
