Full of hope in the US legal system

Yes, the system really works. California today sentenced the woman and man who falsely claimed finding a finger in their Wendy's chili to a combined total of more than 19 long ones in the state hotel.

Aside from my preference for non-prison sentencing (restitution, community service, etc.), I am glad to see that our oft-criticized courts are quite capable of defending themselves.

Curses... so much for my plan to sue Taco Bell for the fingernail clippings in their ground beef.

I'm reminded of the brilliant simplicity of the system God handed down from Moses. Anyone convicted of making a false claim had himself to pay the penalty he sought.
