Punch line: "a good start."
I just received an email that said I was a party to a class action suit against Verizon Wireless. And gee whillikers, Batman, I’m supposed to get me some compensation. The amount? Man, a court settlement?? HEY, I MUST BE RICH! Don’t the winners in a suit against a big mega-company like Verizon mean that little ole me, a plaintiff (even though I knew nothing of the suit) get set up for life? Man, retirement, here I come!
Oops – I just read the fine print;
current Verizon Wireless customers whose calling plan provides for a specific allowance of minutes as part of their monthly access fee automatically will receive 25 additional wireless calling minutes
Huh? Must be my mistake – that has to be $24 million…rub, rub, rub my eyes again….no, that was minutes. Let’s see, at my current plan rate that comes to about $1.55.
The lawyers?
…for the Class Representatives in an amount not to exceed $6 million.
Can I read that joke again?
Heh! And is Harrell Kirstein, NH Democrat Party Flakker, gonna try the Political Correctness smack because trial lawyers are integral to the Democrat Party?
