Out here on the Left Coast, we do not discriminate. We act like true Americans and sue everybody, especially the people who rescue us.

I've mentioned this before. I came to the aid of a female mail carrier who was attacked by the neighbor's Doberman on the sidewalk in front of my house. I heard a scream, rushed out, saw the neighbor dragging his Dobe down the sidewalk, all the while cursing it and punching it in the face with his fist. The mail carrier was badly bitten on the hand, bleeding like mad. I sat her down on my front porch, grabbed a clean towel and wrapped it tightly around her hand, and called her supervisor as she requested. While we were waiting for the supervisor to arrive, I picked up all the mail that had spilled on the sidewalk and put it back in her mailbag.

In two days, I received a letter from her attorney that she was suing me. I was told by a lawyer friend of mine that I would have been better off if I had ignored her screams in the first place.
