A medical supply company in Houston settled a lawsuit filed by a former
employee who said three female co-workers had pulled his pants down to his
ankles. According to court documents, the man had told the women that he
didn't always wear underpants. He said the women later tugged down his
pants and dragged him across the floor. They then nicknamed him Pee Wee.
and Shorty. In his suit, the man charged the firm of not providing
adequate supervision and invading his privacy by letting word of the
incident leak.

Kalamazoo, MI, heart surgeon Charles Butler, won a $3.96 million jury
verdict in October in his lawsuit against Wal-Mart for injuries he
suffered in a store parking lot. Butler tripped over a trailer hitch
while walking to his car, hurting his spine so badly that he now suffers
from trembling hands, ending his career. Wal-Mart pointed out
unsuccessfully that the trailer itself was 18 feet long and 6 feet high
and contained a large commercial barbecue grill and that a person so
unobservant as to not notice that must surely be facing a waning career as
a surgeon.
