Perfect justice would now see a scenario evolve whereby he has to emigrate to Korea and set up a dry-cleaning business in order to earn a living. But — absent divine invervention by one of the gods on Olympus, don’t see how that can be made to happen.

Maybe he will end up as a broken and bankrupted man who had to change his name and move elsewhere in the US. And end up with a job pressing pants in a Chinese laundry.

Zeus could then say: “There! That’s ‘close enough for government work’.”

The Sydney Morning Herald reported this (us Aussies like a nice bit of silliness) with a headline of:

$60m tanty pants judge loses job

And for our American cousins, “tanty” would be a piece of Aussie slang - a shortening of “tantrum”.

WJS,

It’s America. With enough legal knowledge and lack of scruples you can sue someone for no particular reason at all. What a country!

I’m never going to be a fan of a man who initiates a lawsuit like that, but still you have to wonder–those merchants must have done *something* to cheese him off that badly.

I guess you could say he got pantsed.
