After watching some of the ludicrous commercials on television, where ambulance chasing solicitors try to lure you into making a living by claiming for any spurious event they can imagine, I�d suppose, in this ever-increasingly twisted, greedy, soul-tossing and litigious society, any booze-swilling floozy could come to her senses the following morning, after having mistaken the shower head for a karaoke mike and whilst reaching up to belt out yet another show-stopping rendition of �I Will Survive,� she suddenly slips on your Dove bar.
Immediately comes to mind is the dull droning voice of the man who claims � I was installing an alarm system and I was given the wrong kind of ladder.� Or the girl with the face of something that might be suffering from a case of Blue Tongue, rattling on about how she was crossing the floor and had a painful slip, but she got a cheque for �5000.� What she probably failed to tell anyone was that her focus was on a Mars Bar wrapper she was heading for and was preparing to fight off a group of hostile ants who were toting it away!
The simple answer is �yes.� The drunk can sue you. But that doesn�t mean it will be successful. The drunk may be thinking that you�re a person of means and therefore, she�s going to have a bit of it. Or, perhaps more nefariously, the drunk does this by routine and knows that your home-owner�s policy is going to simply settle it as a nuisance claim and just pass along the costs to you in the form of increased premiums.

But then, there�s the other thought that perhaps the drunk is mortified, humiliated and exasperated because the medics had to be called out to dislodge the shower head from a very intimate location, when floozy, rather mistakenly thought the shower head was enamoured with her singing and decided it had definitely pulled!
And if I continue with this nonsense, it might be that when the light of dawn arose, floozy has discovered that to add insult to injury, after having �revealed herself� to the medics the night before, as she lay spread eagle at the bottom of the tub whilst they performed the extraction procedure, one of the medics kept saying �I hear an echo in there,� she has now discovered that she can no longer locate your Dove bar!
Perhaps this week she�ll change her karaoke repertoire to �I�m forever Blowing Bubbles,� and forget about the whole darn thing!
Good luck!
