Syracuse, NY -- An Ohio woman is suing Syracuse's Crowne Plaza Hotel after falling off a bar stool in the public lounge.

Antoinette Allison, of Reynoldsburg, Ohio, is seeking up to $1 million for her injuries after falling off the "defective" bar stool on April 14, 2011, according to her lawsuit.

"Allison was waiting for her food when she fell off the stool..." No drinks with the food? That isn't good for proper digestion.

Hopefully this woman...and her lawyer...will do six months as punishment for this attempted extortion.

Prolly wasn’t wearing her barstool safety belt.

She’s really lowering the bar.

You think this is bad, how about this one: She kills a kid riding a bike and sues his parents for $1.2 million. “Oh sorry I killed your kid, now pay me.”

Why doesn’t she go for a double by suing the liquor company for getting her drunk?

[Paladin2]

Not every womyn can pass the bar.

That’s not a defect. It’s a design feature, which kicks in when the person sitting on it becomes stupid. This can be caused by alcohol, or simply a design feature of the person sitting on the stool. In any case, the stool did its job. Case closed.

A million bucks for falling off a barstool? Crazy

[digger48]

She also might have been pushing the recommended load limits of the stool leg.

[Vendome]

If she’d drank just a little more, no way she would have been injured.

I blame her for not relaxing enough.

Allison... you should be in a HIGHCHAIR the next time you do a bar stool...

[Defiant]

You should see what happened to the guy she was felating.

[relictele]

Another theory goes out the window...it really IS possible to knock a sick whore off a barstool.

[Delta Dawn]

Hmmm...I wonder if she needed a stool softener?

‘She’s the Queen of the Silver Dollar ... and a barstool is her throne.’

[Redcitizen]

Was she drinking her baby goodbye?

Sitting on a bar stool Acting like a darn fool That’s what I’m a doing today Sitting here drinking Trying to keep from thinking I’m a boozing my troubles away.
