Time for Tort Reform?

A family in Saudi Arabia is suing a genie for theft and harassment. The family accuses the genie of “leaving them threatening voicemails, stealing their cell phones, and hurling rocks at them when they leave the house.” (HT: FP Passport) [%comments]

    The Genie will be soon be gong back to Coco Beach Fla., Where Her main sport is really Her Dalliance with Capt. Anthony Nelson.
    However Capt. Nelson’s Friend & Co-hort, Major Roger Healey, always being up for a lark, Could be asked to ‘Serve de Summons’.
    Maybe He, Capt. Healey, could remind Eric M. Jones, that the ‘Genie’ is from Baghdad & therfore Immune to Saudi Law.
    Mr. Eric M Jones should perhaps Heed Mr. T. Bill’s Advice above, & maybe pass it on to the Saudi’s.
    Both He & them may be ‘Wisened’ by such experience & Contact.

    Hey Another David, how dijaknow this Genie is a Man?

    Most times these days ya cant tell, Can ya?

    Gender maybe a thing of the past around here, Bit down in those parts, they, the un-enlightened Ones, still see a world of Diff.

    Mischievous Genies, like this one, throwing rocks at the folk whenever ther’e leaving the house, made me suspect that it is the ‘Genie’ from Coco Beach, Fla.

    You know the one, Capt. Anthony Nelson’s main squeeze.

    Anyway, She’s from Baghdad, & can’t be sued by the Saudi’s, because She has Immunity.
