Gregg Should Sue The Entire Country Of France
France -- and especially Paris -- is home to the itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie cafe table.
These tables will comfortably seat any slim little girl under the age of 12, or anyone with the body type of one.
Gregg, on the other hand, is, well...our friend Laurent calls him "Beeeg Guy." He's 6'2" and is not built like a paper cut.
Luckily, he isn't a litigious guy, like the guy who sued White Castle over the size of their booths.
Scott Strump writes for Today:
Wedging White Castle burgers into his mouth has admittedly never been a problem for a 290-pound stockbroker from New York.Trying to wedge himself into a seat at his local White Castle, however, has him mad enough to sue.
Martin Kessman, 64, has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified financial damages against the fast-food chain, claiming that his local White Castle is in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act because the seating cannot accommodate a customer of his size. A federal lawsuit filed last week claims that in April 2009, Kessman smacked his knee into a metal post while trying to wedge himself into the stationary seating at a White Castle in Nanuet, N.Y., near his home.
"I'm not humongous, [but] I'm a big guy,'' Kessman told The New York Post. "I could not wedge myself in."
After limping out of the store in pain, he wrote multiple letters to White Castle's corporate headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, complaining about the inadequate seating situation and his embarrassment in having to try to fit into a chair at the Rockland County location. White Castle's response was a series of "condescending letters'' and three coupons for a total of nine free hamburgers, according to the lawsuit.
"But the cheese was extra!'' he wrote in the lawsuit.
White Castle planned to make alterations for the store, located about 45 minutes from Manhattan, but for more than two years, nothing was done, Kessman claims. A White Castle spokewoman said that the location in Nanuet is being replaced by a new one that will have more room to sit, which Kessman claims is not a problem for him at other fast-food restaurants and on airplanes.
"I just want to sit down like a normal person,'' Kessman told The Post.
And this would be White Castle's responsibility why?
UPDATE: Sorry - this is an old story: Somebody sent it to me and I didn't notice the date. I'm moving it backward to hide it from view. (I originally posted it on Dec. 4.)

While certainly an interesting story, also last updayed Sept of of 2011... So, I think it may have been thrown out.
