The question of suing the rain, sky or Noah suing himself reminds me of the time I visited A&E, years ago now, after I'd tripped over the cat and badly sprained my wrist (I thought it might be broken).

The next day, I got a call from one of these "no-win-no-fee" firms (God knows how they got my number) saying that they understood I'd had an accident and they wanted to help me sue those responsible.

"Who would I sue?" I replied. "The cat or myself?"

Never heard from them again.

The cat has excellent legal representation.

Kannap sounded a bit dejected, so I decided to cheer him up in my own special way. I am no stranger to disappointment myself and therefore am capable of empathizing with the jaded young man.

Naturally. I've heard that Ruth Bader Ginsberg has gained one life from the cat for previous services. It's why, and bless her, she is able to stay on the Supreme Court.
