JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A South African woman has settled a
lawsuit in which she claimed to have developed a phobia about
toilets after falling off one at a hotel.

Antonia Hart, 59, sued the Sun International hotel chain
following the August 2003 incident, asking for 91,000 rand
($14,000) for pain, injury, medical treatment and "loss of
amenities," the South African Press Agency (SAPA) reported.

Hart's lawyers had accused the hotel of negligence, saying
their client btoppled off the toilet when it suddenly broke
"whilst in normal use for the purposes for which it was
installed," SAPA quoted court papers as saying. /b

Sun International's lawyers conceded that the toilet had
broken, but said Hart's husband had signed a liability waiver
upon checking in.

"The matter was settled between the parties and the magistrate
was informed on Monday that an agreement had been reached and
that the lawsuit would not proceed," SAPA said.




He he! I know just how she must have felt. Some toilets are
loose and wobbling around when I sit on them - very unnerving.

What if they collapsed and broke and some sharp shards pierced
my tender places? It could be lethal! I'd sue, too.

I bet you would, Peggy! Have you ever crapped right into the ocean?

Inquiring minds want to know!
