Lawsuit Of The Week: Adulterer Sues 1-800 FLOWERS ('Nother Junk Lawsuit Alert)

[caveat emptor]

Twelve counts of giving flowers with felonious intent.

"I doubt Greer will collect much in this suit. He certainly doesn't deserve $1 Million for it."

Besides, his affair will have no bearing on the actual divorce settlement anyways. And if you look at the divorce papers, I'm pretty sure you won't see "Husband had an a affair" listed as the reason for the application, it will say "alienation of affection", or something along those lines in lawyer speak.

Everyone should take a look at reply #14 on the earlier thread.

I send my wife flowers at work and ask that a receipt not be sent to my home because I don't want her to see how much I spent.

(Not that I wouldn't tell her if she asked.)

ROTFLOL!

[Tamar1973]

She’d seen it on the credit card invoice the next month anyway! LOL!

If anyone should be suing for breach of contract, it’s the moron’s wife.

I was married and worked in an office with a woman who would give me chills and palpitations every time I saw her. Don’t know if it was scent, aura, personality, sexiness or what but I wanted so badly, it was out of control. alas, but it was not to be.

But I never could work out the time logistics for a tryst. My life consisted of either being at work or with my wife. I didn’t huge chunks of discretionary unaccounted for time in my life.

The thing that has always puzzled me about adultery is,
Where do they find the time?

[jdub]

Disbar his lawyer.

On what basis, exactly???

[lovecraft]

I have a cardinal rule when sending flowers: There has to be a good reason for it, like Valentine's Day. In fact I think the only time I send flowers IS on V-Day.

The point is, don't EVER send flowers for no reason, it makes you look guilty. It's a pet theory I picked up from other women and personal observations. If a guy sends flowers for no reason, he's most likely feeling guilty about something he did. Especially if he sends flowers while he's out of town on business.

Remember boys, no flowers unless you definitely have a reason and put that reason on the card. If you want to do something for no reason, candy or jewelry is the better way to go. Or just take her out for nice dinner or to someplace special if you want to do something for no reason.

Just leave a note on the pillow when you leave for work, telling her how much you love her and appreciate her. Boy, it works better than a $100 dinner and a bottle of wine!

[Vermont Lt]

nathan,

Read my first post on the thread. I thought the guy was a moron, and should be held up for ridicule, scorn, and for mockery.

We ARE thinking along the same lines.

I was just suggesting that if he put a little more effort into his marital relationship, he would have felt a lot better about his wife, and himself.

Adultery is illegal? Even in Ca? Pretty funny article, though. Good on Mrs. Greer!

[longtermmemmory]

actually in this day and age of identitity theft he does have a legit case on the disclosure of his financial information.

This is a contracts case.

Duty, breach, causation, damages.

In this case the damages are probably statutory at a minimum.

The issue of adultery is just the sensationalism part.
The author is not so bright.

“Dear, about that Victoria’s Secret receipt. Yes, they were for you. The . . . . uhhhhhhhhhhh . . . . cat chewed them up.”

[Larry Lucido]

"But dear, they were see through nighties. That's why you never saw them! And the edible panties were so good, they barely made it out of the box."

[longtermmemmory]

I thought in California it was manditory and those who are faithful to their wives and husbands were lawbreakers. (/s)

[Larry Lucido]

This is a contracts case.

Duty, breach, causation, damages.

My torts professor would have jumped all over you for using the elements of tort to describe a contract case. He was a regular John Houseman clone.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Heeheehee! Excellent!

[TheSpottedOwl]

My opinion of you has just shot up past the Dow Jones :)

Very cool!
