Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
If DX wanted to institute a tort action on a negligence theory he'd have to prove that the injury was proximately caused by the tongue waggler, that injury through tongue waggling is foreseeable, that a reasonable person would not have engaged in the dangerous activity of tongue waggling, and that the tongue waggler owed a duty of care to him that was breached. In jurisdictions which impose strict liability on tongue wagglers for the injuries caused - because the activity is inherently dangerous - all DX would have to prove was that his injury was proximately caused by the waggling.
Impressive.

Impressive.
And you can use that on the bar. Provided it fits the fact pattern, and you're insane.

I'm not sure duty of care fits up there in a positive tort, but I always had trouble putting together the elements of a tort. I'm impressed you still can.

Nah, I made all that up. The most important things to remember about the practice of law is to write with conviction and always cover your ass. ;)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

We use, "upon knowledge, information and belief." Because we get paid by the word.

Tonguetwisting is subject to several of the same statutes, so stop speaking so silly!
The non-nattery part of my post got posted in Bureaucracy instead.
