I enjoy from time to time working to rule. Carrying out exactly her instructions, no matter how obviously flawed and stupid.

I've got it this weekend.
Maximus is taking her first communion and there shall be party and merriment aplenty subsequently.
Mrs Wife has given an edict of what will be provided:
- mini pizzas,
- smoke salmon and prawn bites,
- potato salad,
- chips,
- cinamon cookies,
- drinks
Other parents are bringing other stuff. Now guess who will spend all day Saturday preparing this stuff? Go on guess. Muggins here, that's who!

Insurance companies were rich enough to buy that exception into law, so now everyone uses it to weasel out of their responsibilities.

True. A legal loophole indeed.

There was a film about that : The Man Who Sued God[^]
It's not the best film in the world, but it's ok in a "take your brain out and drink wine while you watch it" kinda way.

 Ah, the plot looks humorous,
Plot: Steve dramatically files a claim against God, naming the Pope and the local Bishop as representatives of God, and thereby the respondents.

Unfortunately, it fails to live up to expectations, like most of Billy Connolly's output in the last 20 years - crowned by his recent walking off stage in a stand-up due to heckling.

That could be an understatement.
My preferred defence would be to ask them to prove that it was an act of god, hence requiring a proof of the existence of said deity. Something I regard as unlikely.

God has been sued[^] twice.
Some interesting, and no doubt expensive, legal discussion took place in each one before being thrown out.
I particularly like the answer to the charge of failing to notify God of the lawsuit against Her.

They wouldn't have a hope of holding that up in court, because the phrasing is so poor.
It essentially says:
"The warranty will be invalidated if defects arising ... will have to be borne by the purchaser"
You can argue that the defects arising cannot be borne by the purchaser, as they affect only the product, so the warranty cannot be invalidated.
They probably had the warranty written by an underpaid minor in a sweat shop in Bombay.

That's been fairly common wording in the US all my life, so I'm guessing that it originated here. That seems odd to me now, since most of us were raised to believe that bad things were caused by acts of Satan.
Will Rogers never met me.
